GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship

GOG has launched the Freedom to Buy initiative, offering delisted or controversial games for free to protest silent censorship and promote access to legal, responsibly made titles.

GOG just kicked off its cheekily named “Freedom to Buy” campaign, plastering 13 once-controversial games on a special site (FreedomToBuy.games) and handing them out free for 48 hours. The stunt’s all about shining a spotlight on what they call “quiet” censorship—titles getting quietly delisted not for breaking laws but for making someone, somewhere, uncomfortable.

Among the freebies you’ll find everything from POSTAL 2 and Agony to HuniePop and House Party. GOG’s big point? If a game’s legal and responsibly made, you shouldn’t need a secret handshake to grab it—yesterday, today or decades from now.
