They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.

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.

Thx, I'll save this for later. 😂

[–] Townlately@feddit.nl 52 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Hunie Pop is actually a valid puzzle game on its own merits, with a surprising amount of strategy involved.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

That one stood out to me as well.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

Good Old Gooners

I tried Sapphire Safari. I'm a terrible photographer who keeps getting "mauled" by the hostile animal people. It's awesome! 😃

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 37 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Great news, perverts/freedom enthusiasts

How did they know it was me?

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

I'm glad they consider me a pervert slash freedom enthusiast, and not the other way around.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 89 points 11 hours ago (7 children)

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.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] whalebiologist@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm rewatching some Criminal Minds. You'd be surprised/horrified at what some people bust to. The main word of that show is sexual sadism. That said, this one does stand out among the other games lol

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Postal 2 is legendary, played the whole game right through! I love the ~~Asian~~ ALL AMERICAN grocery store with the interesting stuff upstairs lol

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

I can't remember if it was p1 or p2, but I remember having to fight Gary Coleman. Lol

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 4 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Just a heads up, because of payment processor stuff, most are free on itch.io right now also.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] PushButton@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's a good timing. I'm looking at my calendar and I am due for my workout session anyway...

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 5 points 7 hours ago

You got a calendar for that? I only got a watch to keep track of my sessions

[–] Whirling_Ashandarei@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

My mindset exactly, may we well see if the juice is worth the squeeze, if you will.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago

I haven't played it, but people say Being a dik game is quite good.

the bundle includes postal 2

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 5 points 5 hours ago

Yeah that's why I redeemed it 🤥

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

Mhh, apparently it doesn't work in Germany. I only get errors.

[–] ctenidium@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] smokeymcpott@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago

I used the tip from the user "CyberGecko_" on this site Link. That worked for me.

[–] TheGoodforNothing@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I used this link. Just logged in and they were redeemed.

[–] Bruhh@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Double check your library. I kept getting errors but they did redeem

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Not working for me, just getting error messages when trying to redeem ...

[–] Ethalis@jlai.lu 32 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

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

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 6 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] rotkehle@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago

works for me. thanks

[–] carbs@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

If any one of the games are banned in your country, you will get an error.

This page lists what's banned where: https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845

Two of the games were banned in my country, so a quick VPN to the Netherlands and the "purchase" went through.

I did log a support ticket with GOG and they referred me to the KB article above.
