Your original comment said you hope they never get released.
In direct reference to “terabytes of child abuse videos” yes, I hope they never get released. This is different than “show the faces and names of the criminals”. Not sure how one could struggle with such a simple sentence.
The ones at the DOJ, which is led by a corrupt loyalist?The ones at the FBI, which is led by a different corrupt loyalist?
That part is the part I agree is the real issue that must be urgently addressed, yes. The release of the raw videos is not and will never be the path. We don’t disagree here.
Agreed. But considering how that was my point from the very start, I’m unsure what you’d expect me to reply to that.
If you’re not from American you should probably shut up.
You’re commenting that you want terabytes of child porn published for the public, and doubling down that this is “the only way”.
Me? Shut up?
The current level of moral outrage is not high enough or universal enough to break past the walls of power.
And your proposed solution is releasing terabytes of child rape online for the masses?
Please, never become a candidate for any position where you have any decision making responsibility whatsoever, in your life.
didn’t write down but know are on video
Investigators need to see them, not you. And even if you did, the fuck are you going to do about it? And if you’re going to do something, why are you waiting for child abuse videos instead of doing it now?
You’re defending the release and that “people need to see” videos of children being raped? Are you clinically insane? No, nobody needs to see anything, and the victim’s suffering aren’t a stage for your vengeance.
The fact they’re confirmed to exist, audited by closed door experts and trialed through a legal system is all that would suffice in a working society. Now, is the US a good example of a functional country? No, not at all, but “releasing the videos” does nothing.
Again, we already know they’re pedophiles, releasing the names is enough, you don’t need to watch the actual videos. If people aren’t revolting now, it’s not from a lack of explicit CSAM recordings.
It’s bizarre I even have to explain this.
Depends if you want to include actual romance games into the evaluation, because those are entirely dedicated to romance itself, making games like Baldur’s Gate hard to compare against.
A lot of the data is composed of child abuse videos though, not evidence the videos existed, the videos themselves, so in that regard I do expect and hope they’re never publicly released.
But yes, of course, everything else was withheld or censored just to protect the abusers, and those do need to come out, we just don’t know the exact ratio or numbers as being shared by this article.

why though
You want to have a story drawn without anime-style characters? Sure, check this one out.
As a GOG user, I don’t give a toss if they don’t offer even 1% of the features others may or may not offer. They promise I get a game, and I do get a game. It’s up to me to get those other features for my games provided they’re possible.
Naturally it is up to you. Not sure where in my comment did you get the impression that I get to demand which platform you use to get the games.
GOG doesn’t offer 20% of the features Steam does, but the trade off is a promise of no DRM headaches and full ownership values.
It simply took CDPR to wave some money their way to throw that away and have DRM on a major game. Removed after a literal outrage or not, this means the fundamental reason to use the platform is negotiable and relative. To me, that doesn’t make it different than Steam, and therefore, I’ll pick the store that actually works well.
GOG is hinting at Linux support after ages. Steam created Proton. This contrast tells me all I need to know.
Ah sure, it must have been a super accidental bug that just so happens to have be related to the main release of the parent company, sure.
Hitman: Game of the Year Edition and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided must have been bugs too. I guess this is a very buggy store.
If you’re talking about the phantom liberty DLC bug
Not a bug.
that’s been fixed since patch 2.01
After community outrage.
Also they’ve been separated out of CDPR recently
Doesn’t matter, it’s enough to prove their standards are up for sale.
Ah GOG, the “anti-DRM” platform that published a game with DRM protected DLC because their parent company demanded it.
People already have the RAM
Pre-builts and laptops are reverting to 16 GB as default, and those represent the vast majority of yearly PC hardware sales.
I’ll never do cloud gaming/computing.
If a cloud server becomes the only way to play the newest releases, I’m never playing the newest releases again. That’s fine. There are more games between 1980 and 2025 than I have years of life available to play.
If you can’t build a desktop and must rent an Amazon computing instance, I’m not doing computing anymore. That’s fine, people lived for thousands of years without computers, I don’t need computers to eat.
