Censorship is quietly deciding which games you can buy.

We are fighting back.

Some games vanish. Not because they broke the law but because someone decided they shouldn’t exist.

For 48 hours, these games are free, because if a game is legal, you should be free to buy it.

You need age verification. And not of the "upload a picture for an AI to take a look at" kind, but the kind where a government worker checks your ID. So some games, e.g. Postal 2, are just blocked in Germany as a result.

Couldn't I just share the .exe with you? Let me know if you want it.

Thanks for the offer, but I got Postal 2 ages ago before the block was implemented.
