But if you're making a principles-based argument that refusing to sell the game is itself censorship, not that this particular judgment about this particular game was wrongly made, you should at least be willing to state your claim more clearly.Įveryone keeps using examples of physical products at brick & mortar stores. I'm not stating any opinion on whether refusing to sell the game is merited or hypocritical.

Who is the boogeyman in this case? Those who dislike the game? Well, but then why shouldn't those who dislike the game be allowed their own free speech? In the case of the First Amendment, it's clear that the threat to be protected against is the government. "Protection" has no meaning unless it's from a specific threat. Have I been censored? Does it make a difference if the NYT refuses to publish it because they disagree with my view politically? Is there an expectation that stores will accept all suppliers indiscriminately? Is it censorship of, say, hardcore Japanese eroge if Steam refuses to sell such games? Is it censorship if Walmart says they won't sell shitty Twilight fanfiction? (Goddammit, if only this were true.) Have I been censored? Let's say I write an editorial and take it to the NYT, who refuses to publish it because it's crap. Let's say I write a novel and take it to a publishing house, who refuses to publish it because it's crap. Please define censorship so that it is clear why refusing to sell a game is censorship. I'm not defining censorship for you or who speech has to be protected from. However I remember when GOG's whole existence was to supposedly get around the bigger distribution companies to offer games that they wouldn't, and be an outlet for small indie developers to at least have a say. Yes, I'm fully aware that as a business GOG doesn't have to sell anything or promote anything they want too. It is political speech and it should be protected. Hatred is very obviously satirical, much like Saints Row is a satire of GTA and Just Cause, and GTA itself is a satire of real life. I'm knee deep in The Witcher 3 right now and it's nothing but violence and adult situations. GOG sells Hotline Miami, but won't sell Hatred? They'll sell the first 3 Mortal Kombat's but won't sell Hatred? Go look on GOG.com and a majority of the top 20 most popular games will be violent. When you start accepting certain forms of speech or information but banning others you are espousing the idea of censorship and as we are well aware of as readers of arstechnica (I created the account to comment, long time reader) or simply as witnesses to recent world events, censorship is bad.Īlso, its just plain hypocrisy. The simple fact is that speech should be free. No I don't agree with hate-speech in any form or fashion from any individual, organization, corporation or government entity. Regardless of the content of Hatred, or its public response and whether or not that response is largely positive or negative, when distribution companies start becoming gatekeepers to creative speech in an interactive 3D form aka video games, you begin to create a precedent that this type of thing is okay.
