    Just to clarify, Bandai Namco has published some games on GOG. No RPGs though.

    The developer's website has a detailed FAQ section on that. In short, though Valve doesn't seem to have explained or told the developer what needs to be removed or censored, the developer thinks it's to do with an early pre-release scene where a man brought his teen daughter to the horse farm, where she sat on the shoulders of a naked woman representing one of the farmer's horses, who in the game are used and abused like their real-world equivalents. Though the developer has subsequently replaced the girl with a 20 year old and pixelated the nudity, Valve and Epic still didn't find the game acceptable.

    @francescotoniolo vale la pena, ogni tanto regalano anche titoli di un certo rilievo e abbastanza recenti. Quelli che ho già o che so non giocherei per motivi di tempo poi li giro qui e ad amici

    what GOG is doing is great and i commend their efforts (even tho i wish they’d relax their submission policies juuust a bit), and as a store, not having piles of shovelware is great! but as a preservation platform, GOG’s approach is inherently limited. they can’t have every game, and they can’t keep supporting every game. that’s the fundamental problem with them as far as preservation is concerned. the only way i can think of where we could have total game preservation is if every game ever made had it’s source code readily available, and all people were taught the programming skills necessary to make the games work on whatever future computers we have. that way, even the most obscure games which don’t have a passionate fanbase can be ported, fixed and played for years to come. which, obviously, is not something that’s doable, by GOG or by anyone else
