In related GOG news, the store yesterday (December 16th) announced that it would not be selling the acclaimed Taiwanese horror game Devotion, after developers Red Candle Games had announced it'd be on the store from December 18th. In a tweet, GOG claimed that it'd received "many messages from gamers", and would not be stocking the title. The game was previously removed from Steam following the inclusion, in game, of a comparison between Winnie the Pooh and China's President, Xi Jinping, with Red Candle opting to take it down globally to make changes. The game never returned to Steam in any country.
Devotion's announcement for GOG was widely praised, and GOG's u-turn has been strongly criticised, with many making connections between Cyberpunk 2077's success in China (GOG is owned by CD Projekt), and GOG not wanting to risk that for the sake of a relatively small indie game.
