PC gamers have something big to celebrate this weekend. In response to increasing censorship concerns, GOG has partnered with several publishers to give away 13 adult-themed games for free—but the offer ends at 7:00pm CST on Sunday, August 3. This 48-hour giveaway is a bold protest against the recent trend of financial institutions allegedly pressuring storefronts like Steam to remove adult or controversial content.
A Growing Crisis in PC Gaming
Recently, the PC gaming community has been rattled by a wave of game removals. Thousands of titles—many in the adult genre—have vanished from major storefronts such as Steam following lobbying efforts by activist group Collective Shout. These efforts reportedly influenced payment processors like MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal to reconsider their policies on what games they support, leading to a silent purge of content many players were still actively enjoying.
Rather than accept this shift quietly, GOG launched the FreedomToBuy campaign, advocating for creative freedom and consumer rights. According to GOG, the campaign aims to shine a light on the dangers of third-party interference in the availability of digital media.
“Some games vanish. Not because they broke the law, but because someone decided they shouldn’t exist,” GOG stated. “We are taking a stand against the quiet erasure of creative works from digital shelves.”
What’s Included in the Free Giveaway?
The 13 free titles available during the FreedomToBuy event are:
- Agony + Agony Unrated
- Being a DIK – Season 1
- Fetish Locator Week One
- House Party
- HuniePop
- Leap of Faith
- Leap of Love
- Lust Theory
- Postal 2
- Sapphire Safari
- Summer’s Gone – Season 1
- Treasure of Nadia
While some of these games push boundaries with explicit or mature themes, others like Postal 2 have earned notoriety for their over-the-top violence and controversial satire. Sapphire Safari, on the other hand, blends open-world exploration with photography in a world of “monster girls,” while House Party leans into 90s-style comedic adventures.
All titles are permanently free to those who claim them before the deadline, and once redeemed, they remain in your GOG library forever—no DRM, no restrictions, no catch.
A Stand for Creative Freedom
GOG’s move isn’t just about free games—it’s a direct challenge to the increasing role corporations play in shaping what content can or cannot be accessed digitally. With many developers and players frustrated by what they see as a form of corporate censorship, the FreedomToBuy campaign could be a turning point in the ongoing debate over artistic freedom in gaming.
Gamers interested in showing support or simply taking advantage of the offer can visit the [FreedomToBuy site] before the promotion ends on August 3 at 7:00pm CST.
As the credit card and PayPal controversy continues to unfold, this initiative may serve as a call to action—not just for players, but for platforms and developers worldwide.
