Devotion will not appeal to horror fans looking for the thrill of being hunted or chased but those looking for a sinister story
Devotion is a game that explores what happens when these two concepts intersect, and the issues that come with acting out of “love”.
To deliver the game to players, Devotion has been launched on the developer's webstore hosting the game for a $16.99 DRM free copy.
If you are interested in this game (and you should if you like horror) I recommend that you grab it fast. Because the chance of "angry gamers" coming after it is not null.
Just earlier today, it was announced that Devotion would be making its return digitally, this time on GOG in a tweet. Understandably, a lot of fans were excited and it was generally counted as a win for the developers in this unfortunate situation. Sadly, this will not be the case anymore.
Such a cop out to say "complaints from gamers"......you must think we are completely stupid. You took it down because of pressure from the CCP.
I can't be the only person getting a little bit sick and tired of all of these companies bending over backwards for the CCP. I don't live in China, so why I am affected by their bs anti freedom laws?
"Chinese Gamers". The Chinese Government probably either told them straight to delist the game or they have sent them some thousand emails by different accounts.
Companies spent years bending over for SJWs based in America with almost no financial power on social media. Why would they stand up to a country that has a huge financial pull?
Not the same. Generally games fail or succeed on their own terms, censoring content or not aside, and the developer can choose if they want to humor those cries or not. In this one case the game is being held back from releasing altogether, even after removing “offensive” content.
Just shows how dumb it is to idolize those gaming companies and think they are your friends or that they have any other intentions then making money.
CDPR played the good guy because it brought them massive success, its like Samsung throwing shade at Apple for removing the headphone jack and then doing the exact same thing.
Oh dear, the Communist party of China has found another way to affect the lives of the free world.
It's exactly what they want, shame GOG & CDPR have submitted to their political scheming, now it makes them look even worse after the Cyberpunk fiasco.
Shame Western companies don't stand up to the CCP, but they've played the long game on many fronts and have their financial tentacles wrapped around the necks of many people and organisations internationally now.
Of course, the whole 'China is now the most powerful country in the world' is a load of old guff generated by their propaganda machine and seeded in the minds of their children at a very young age.
If China did (does?) have any problems it would lie about it to the rest of the world and fake everything, as they do now.
And just like that, in the space of a single week, CDPR, the developer I respected more than any other developer in the industry, has utterly embarrassed themselves.
