GOG has decided to take a big stance against censorship with its Freedom to Buy Games bundle, which is a cool free bundle filled with games that could be censored currently. It is crazy that we have to talk about this, but censorship is a slippery slope that ends up harming everyone, once you censor something, the only thing you will cause is a snowball effect which will cause more things to be censored. We have been living through this multiple times in history, many thought it would end in a civilized world, but it seems another crusade against art just begun. We at Infinite Start will cover this more.
Freedom to Buy Games is yours to keep
Both figuratively and literally in fact, the games you get on this bundle, including Postal 2, are yours forever, you can download the installers for them and you get to decide where and when to install them. If something were to happen to GOG someday, be it mass censorship or even the service dying off, you would get to keep what you got as long as you backed up the installers. We currently live in unprecedented times when it comes to internet censorship, but there’s ways to fight, ways to keep our Freedom to Buy games.
No matter how many restrictions are placed upon you, there’s ways to bypass them, legal ways too. Stop Censoring Games is a campaign you should sign up for and ensure that it succeeds, much to the like of Stop Killing Games, it seems that it will eventually garner the right numbers needed to perhaps do something. Unfortunately the future is uncertain, but only those who fight through it all are the ones that get to keep their rights, don’t be demotivated, show them your freedom to buy games by taking advantage of the bundle linked above.
