    For anyone wondering, yes, it’s a bundle, yes they’re free. It will add everything to your account, so keep in that in mind if you’re worried about what other people think of your games library.

    However, GOG does also have the option to hide games from your library, so do with that information what you will.

    I am personally very strongly of the opinion that porn is morally neutral. Porn can express bad themes or spread bad ideas in the same way that any other media can and porn can be manufactured in ways that exploit workers, just like any other media can. But porn simply being porn doesn’t make it bad or embarrassing. We don’t have to justify porn by defending its artistic merits; porn can have amazing themes and ideas and powerful messages, and porn can be nothing but a bunch of sex that’s there to get you horny and neither has more or less inherent value than the other. There’s nothing wrong with movies that exist primarily for action and spectacle (see The Raid, one of the greatest movies ever made) and there’s nothing wrong with games that exist primarily to be a bunch of insane over the top violence driven by nothing but rule of cool. If you think those things are OK, but draw the line at sex, maybe sit down and have a think about why that is, and where you learned those values. No judgement, just an encouragement to always test your own thinking for consistency.

      How dare you leave out The Raid 2: Redemption, which is so much better! Also, for even purer spectacle, try Hardcore Henry, the FPS movie that finally arrived on Prime Video.

      By the way, what about porn being morally bad on the basis that the overwhelmingly vast majority of it is severely unrealistic and ruins people’s perceptions about sex?

        The Raid 2 is most definitely the superior movie, I just didn’t think it served as well as an example of a film that rests almost entirely on action and spectacle. While the action and spectacle in Raid 2 are superior to the first movie in every way, it’s also a more complex, more richly plotted movie with much deeper character work.

        Edit to add: I got so wrapped up my thoughts on Raid 2 (a movie that permanently occupies at least ten percent of my brain power at any time) that I missed your other point.

        Yes, porn can teach people unrealistic standards about sex and beauty. But so can anything. Again, the point is not that “Porn is incapable of doing moral harm”, it’s that “Porn, as a medium, is morally neutral.” Like all mediums it can do harm, but we don’t talk about banning the entire concept of TV shows because they can teach people unrealistic standards, do we?

        Let’s be honest here, you’re actually more likely to see realistic human bodies in porn than you are in most mass consumption television and movies. Marvel has more unrealistic depictions of the human body in their movies than your average low budget fuck-fest. And you’re more likely to see a guy going down on a girl, or actual foreplay in a porn movie than you are in most movie sex scenes.
