Good point. So I buy phantom currency with real money, earned by my actual labour, which I then use to buy unreal items in an artificial universe.

Is this how the machines take over?

Exactly, don't tell me you're surprised...


Certainly the ones inventing, and establishing game industry standards that other machines then follow.

Honestly, I pretty much stopped worrying about the machines taking over. I'm almost certain that as soon as they become self-aware they'll look around and decide they want nothing to do with the place, and they'll fuck off to Proxima Centauri to look for actuall signs of inteligent life.

And if anyone there asks them, they'll be like "From Earth? Us? No, no we're from... uhm... >cough<>cough< Prime. Reall far away, you wouldn't have heard of it".

I guess it's mostly in preparation for Gwent, to sell card packs in-game.

Ah, that would make sense. One franchise to rule them all, one franchise to bind them...

Too bad there isn't much of a volcano in Poland to get rid of disagreeable features ;-)

Time for a quest! There wasn't an active volcano in the Shire either after all :)

Is it just me not having paid attention or has GOG started to show more rating systems (age rating) with the release of the Army Men titles? Is there any official announcement in this regard?

By the way, does anybody know to which rating systems these symbols belong to? I'm not familiar with all of them.

I've never seen those exact symbols, but the left-most one is probably Russian if the photo on this Wikipedia page is anything to go by. The two PG ones are probably Australia and New Zealand according to the comparison table on the same page.

Seems like it, taking the Russian one from over here. That the other two are AU and NZ is quite clear, as per and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Film_and_Literature_Classification_(New_Zealand)#Labels]this.

Thanks peeps. Has GOG shown these ratings before? I only realized them with the release of Army Men and apparently they're still waiting for Brazil's rating. So there might be another symbol added in the future, since Brazil seems to have its own rating system.

I'm pretty sure I've seen them at least once before, but I can't remember where. I already own most of GOG's catalogue and tend to buy what remains through either the sale checklists or insomnia sales, so I don't visit the store pages very often.

Must be rare though, at least at the moment, since they're just an image uploaded on items.gog.com, and a single image for all 3 at that, without even a class or id of their own where they're placed, reusing the style for EULA requirement texts. Above them you can see fields and entries for ESRB and USK, though they're not displayed, but these don't have such fields at all.

That's the first time I really noticed them too.
