IMPORTANT NOTE!
It turns out you _can't_ pick and choose from the selection. Pick one
and the whole bunch are added to your library. So if you just wanted,
say, "Postal 2" you can't just get that one without getting the rest
too.
This was NOT made clear on the website (a problem GOG has repeatedly
faced). Still, I should have checked myself before hitting SEND. I
apologize for misleading people with the initial post.
In response to the recent de-listing of various adult games on Steam
and Itch.io (due to pressure from credit cards and various "oh my gosh
the children must be protected" advocacy groups), GOG is offering a
selection of mature+ rated games for free on its platform.
These include:
- Postal 2
- Agony (w/ Unrated edition)
- Leap of Love
- Being a DIK (season 1)
- Leap of Faith
- House Party
- Hunie Pop
- Lust Theory
- Treasures of Nadia
- Summer's Gone (season 1)
- Fetish Locator (week 1)
- Sapphire Safari
- Helping the Hotties

Smut!

A dirty novel I can't shut,
If it's uncut, ad unsubt- le.
(bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards,
neckties, Samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos,
anything! More, more, I'm still not satisfied!)

Yes... Um... that's exactly what I'm doing too!
I certainly wouldn't have *bought* a lot of these games. That's my story
and I'm sticking to it.
I take more issue with the IMPLEMENTATION of the offer, where on the
page it _looks_ as if you can pick and choose, but it's a false
choice. GOG is infamous for these poor design choices, whether its
their spam-like emails or this free offer or various other mis-steps
they've made over the years. I don't think any of it is malicious but >essentially forcing games people may not want into their library is
not a good way to win good will. It also doesn't give people
confidence in GOG's other decisions.

The internet is for porn!

So grab your dick and double-click
For porn, porn porn
And you're right; it's not a SERIOUS issue unless you are a major
prude. Don't like the games? Don't install them.

I suppose the issue is that while on Steam (I'm not that used to GOG)
you can hide games from your library, they display on your public
profile, and the option for hiding games from the profile and activity
was not added until very recently. "Now you can buy all the porn games
and play them without fear of being shamed by your steam friends".

Steam actually allows you to permanently remove games from your
library completely without customer service (click on a game, click
"Support" option on the details page, select "I want to permanently
remove this game from my account". Free or paid, once you do that the
game's gone. I've used it for a few truly awful freebies that even I
couldn't stand cluttering my library ;-)

How come Postal 1 wasn't included?

Maybe it was too violent? Who knows.
I'm glad they gave us the only other game in the series (2), though.

So I don't think it's the violence that kept the original "Postal"
from being included. In some ways, it feels almost tame in comparison
to some of the over-the-top gore-fests available to us today. I think
it just wasn't worth the effort... especially since the sequel is so
much better known.
(It probably doesn't help that it can serve as advertising for
recently released "Postal 4" too... which is basically "Postal 2" but
more so ;-)

Yeah, I guess it makes sense since P2 was the one that got all the >controversy. Goes with the whole theme of the pack and all.
* assuming Gary Coleman was actually real. I'm not entirely sure
that's true ;-)
