GOG, the digital game platform from CD Projekt, has officially kicked off its bold “Freedom to Buy” campaign—taking a public stand against growing censorship in digital game distribution. This initiative promotes unrestricted access to games, even those deemed too controversial for other platforms.
What Is “Freedom to Buy” All About?
At the core of this campaign is a simple but powerful message: GOG will not censor content based on morality. If a game is legal, it deserves a place on their store—no matter how experimental, adult-themed, or unconventional it may be.
This is in direct response to mounting pressure from payment processors and platforms like Steam that have quietly pulled or restricted titles due to “explicit” content. GOG is flipping the script, insisting that adult gamers deserve the right to make their own choices—without moral gatekeeping from publishers or financial middlemen.
A Dedicated Uncensored Games Section
As part of the campaign, GOG launched a curated category filled with uncensored, mature, and experimental games, including several free-to-claim titles. These range from indie projects exploring taboo themes to creative experiences pushed off mainstream stores due to strict guidelines.
This is more than just a library update—it’s a platform-wide statement that creators should have the freedom to publish without fear of suppression, and gamers should have the freedom to access those games.
Positive Community Response
Unsurprisingly, the gaming community has embraced the move. Indie developers, in particular, have praised GOG’s stance for creating a safe space for bold storytelling and innovation. Gamers are also showing support, calling the campaign a necessary counter to what many see as the increasing sanitization of gaming culture.
GOG is urging its users to stay vocal and help defend the right to choose. It’s a conversation that’s long overdue, and GOG is putting its platform where its values are.
