    Can you just add them as nonsteam games?
    Where do you install them to?

            I also got like 10 capchas for 1 of the codes (just one after the other) then it threw an error anyway. I appreciate their gesture, but so far it’s been like 30 minutes of wasted time with nothing to show for it.

                Did the same. Not sure, just by looking at the icon/thumbnail, that any of it was made for me. But am still proud to have them added to my account!

                  I love this from GOG. I already liked them because of their game conservation efforts, but now I like them even more.

                    Apparently some of them are very good in their own right, telling a compelling and interesting story and not just being horny cash-grabs so I’m tempted to give them a shot.
                    I played the original Yu-No because of how it is the foundation upon which all modern visual novel games are built. That was a difficult experience and I do not recommend it to anyone not already very interested in the history of the genre, there is a lot of content there that is not for me.
                    But that was the game that made the industry say “oh shit, these things can be good, too”.

                    Side-note: the modern rerelease of Yu-No has the more objectionable stuff stripped out, but then we’ve got to have the censorship discussion all over again.

                    Anyway. My point is this: I have also overlooked these games but might have to rethink that.

                          It means they have zero Linux support.

                              I cant get by their 2fa. It sends the code like 4 hours later which by then the code times out.

                                If only GOG was this militant when it involved Taiwanese developers (Red Candle Game devs), I would still be using their platform. They haven’t even allowed Nine Sols on it, so I haven’t bothered going back yet or have even recommended them to the degree I usually did over Steam.

                                It’s not even that they had to censor themselves, it’s their woeful attempt at an excuse. It’s funny whom they kneel before and whom the are activists against. Were it a China “Many Gamers” matter, do not expect them to have been as willing…

                                    You being able to play it on linux is not the same thing as having Linux support. They don’t even have a first-party launcher. Probably half the games I buy on GOG don’t even launch, even after adding them to Steam. Meanwhile Steam works literally 100% of the time, in my experience.

                                          Some countries banned Postal 2 so they can’t give it to you if you live in, as a random example, Germany.

                                          Congratulations on already living in the future they’re protesting. Realistically they probably should have recognized this would be a problem and told you the specific error but their giveaway codes aren’t really meant for this so whatever.

                                          If you do live in a country like that you could, however, spend $70 on a year of Mullvad and be a Canadian as far as GOG knows or cares.

                                          Maybe you should be doing that anyways, regardless of whether you want horny games and also Postal 2.
