CD Projekt co-founder says "curation is the privilege" of platforms like Steam, but selling banned horror game Horses on GOG was worth it since "we thought it was very cool" (www.gamesradar.com)

"We believe in creative freedom, because blah – what's acceptable; blah blah blah – it's a slippery slope blah blah."

Empty marketing babbling. You'll open your big mouth when your store will sell Devotion.

Huh. Didn't hear about this one.

I wonder if the news publicity for this game led to more sales than visibility and availability in the Steam storefront could have generated.

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 2 points 2 days ago

I definitely think the publicity helped them out a lot.

Sounds like they were able to turn the rejection by Steam into a benefit.
