This whole saga might just inadvertently make porno games explode (heh) in popularity. I've never played one myself, but if GOG is giving some away for free, I'm going to download a few and see what the hype is about.

That's a good timing. I'm looking at my calendar and I am due for my workout session anyway...
You got a calendar for that? I only got a watch to keep track of my sessions
Just a heads up, because of payment processor stuff, most are free on itch.io right now also.
As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).
A lot were, but not all. I believe Itch made the decision to allow this type of content only if it's free for now though, so a lot has gone totally free (with the option to donate).
I'm not totally sure on any of this, because this content is not something I follow, but I think I heard this is the case somewhere here recently. I could be wrong.
My mindset exactly, may we well see if the juice is worth the squeeze, if you will.
Well I hope you don't bust while playing Postal 2. Not really any sexy stuff on there, but you can dump gas on people, burn them alive, and then piss on them.
Also, cats can be used as suppressors.
don't forget to pick up the original, which is also free. i put in way more hours into it than i care to admit when it was a new game.
Postal 2 is legendary, played the whole game right through! I love the ~~Asian~~ ALL AMERICAN grocery store with the interesting stuff upstairs lol
I've heard good things about Hunie Pop. So far it's... uncomfortably sexist. But I guess what do you expect. I'll give it a shot.
It was published in 2015 and it feels like it was written in 2007, I find it mostly funny but I agree it's not be the best ambassador for the genre.
I haven't played it, but people say Being a dik game is quite good.
the bundle includes postal 2
Yeah that's why I redeemed it 🤥
It's okay, we don't judge.
Honestly I think this was cool af. I'm not gonna play any of those games, but we should stand by it for being a cool move.
Hunie Pop is actually a valid puzzle game on its own merits, with a surprising amount of strategy involved.
Great news, perverts/freedom enthusiasts
How did they know it was me?
I'm glad they consider me a pervert slash freedom enthusiast, and not the other way around.
Oh shoot, postal 2?
the horniest of them all
I'm going to out myself a little bit in praise of the horny games genre. I enjoy comedies, and I've had more laughs while playing these games than anything else I've watched or played in the last few years. So many horny games put you in a place to have good, light hearted fun. Being a DIK (included in the bundle) has so many great moments with Derek and Hell week especially. Being a DIK probably has the best soundtrack and needle drops in all of gaming. Hunie Pop's dialogue is also incredibly funny. If any of this kindles your interest in the AVN genre, make sure you play Eternum.; it's far and away the funniest game and some of the best times I've had by myself wearing my headphones and cackling like a madman.
AVN devs are virtuosos of game design. They are pouring their souls into making these experiences no one will ever hear about because of their sexual content, and subsisting on mainly donations.
Not working for me, just getting error messages when trying to redeem ...
Same Edit : found a workaround by looking up the issue. Go to this page https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595
It should add the Freedom to Buy Games as a free item in your shopping basket, which you can then add to your account
Worked for me, thanks. I will jerk off in your honour
this worked. was already logged in. loaded that link in a different tab, went back to the other and refreshed. saw the cart had something, loaded it and was able to check out.
They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.
I sure do miss Microsoft points
Or Wii points. With craftfully engineered payment options and prices so that emptying your account was a puzzle where you always end up buying something you didn't really want.
Combined with star points in Europe, the loyalty reward points that you couldn't use for anything for years... And then they let you exchange them for Wii points, at a ridiculously low conversion rate, and you're struggling to use those again.
I tried Sapphire Safari. I'm a terrible photographer who keeps getting "mauled" by the hostile animal people. It's awesome! 😃
get al lowe and sierra to come back to make one more leisure suit larry retro point and click investigating the disappearance and censorship of games.
Ermm I am here for a friend
I'll admit, when I get horny booting up ol' postal 2 just gets me right where I need to be.
Mhh, apparently it doesn't work in Germany. I only get errors.
Most of the games are forbidden in Germany, so you have to redeem one by one:
One or more games from the Freedom To Buy offer is banned in your country. If you are in one of the countries below, please go here: https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845 This article contains codes to redeem the games one at a time, and will allow you to redeem those games which are available in your country
