Telika: 2) My anti-censorship request, which was dear to me (because random meaningless censorship irritate me even more than deliberate agenda-pushing censorship), just got labelled "in progress". Maybe it means that, as per my suggestion, GOG will indeed try to find the uncensored versions of their games (like giants or gobliiins) instead of just considering that they're done with these games since a version is on catalogue. Or maybe it's just a "yeah, whatever" thing, and I fall for it. But still, there's a chance they're sincere and do consider censored games (especially when the censored details are ramatically futile) as "incomplete", and deserving further efforts. And the thought makes me happy.
As the person who marked that wish as "in progress", I feel I should clarify my decision as I don't just mark things as being in progress or finished lightly.

1. As you've noticed in the past, we always go back and tweak our older games, whether it's the addition of a language or two or a soundtrack or any other goodie.

2. I marked that wish as in progress due to the fact that we managed to offer everyone the uncensored version of Harvester. I also marked it as in progress because we will try and get the officially uncensored versions of a game whenever possible and, if possible, get the uncensored versions of our past releases if:

a) a game had an official uncensored version released. Unofficial patches or mods that remove censorship don't count but since we don't have DRM there's nothing stopping you from taking off the censorship in the privacy of your own home.

b) we have the permission of the IP holder/publisher.

I can't guarantee that we will be able to uncensor everything but, damnit, we will at least try :)

3. Keep in mind that certain German versions of games will not be uncensored due to the fact that they may not have an officially uncensored version (officially meaning the developer put out a version that was uncensored) and we don't hack games to remove censorship.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

Piranjade: *raises hand* HERE!
I normally don't care much about game censorshio, but there is one game that would I would like to have as an uncensored version here on GOG and that is Giants: Citizen of Kabuto.
Could you please keep us (well, me) posted if you manage to get that one here?
There is a patch that quickly removes that, if you're referring to what I am thinking of :)

tinyE: Thank you Judas! :D
Remember: it's a third-party mod (AFAIK) so we cannot offer support for it.

(have to say this in case of things...)

tinyE: I probably won't even use it. It's nice to have but taking some nudity out of CK is not quite the same as taking all the Nazi symbolism out of Wolfenstein.
Well, you won't catch me linking to anything the German government might take offense to as far as games are concerned. I don't want Frau Merkel knocking on my door :P

F4LL0UT: You are aware that you can easily get the original topless skin (not that pervy one from your link) by just deleting one file, right?
Well, I wasn't until you told me :) I don't know all the specifics of every game here :)

HypersomniacLive: Hmm, this brings a question - when you post your "NEWS: Mod Spotlight: <game title>", does it mean that you do offer official support or do these cases also fall under "use at your own risk"?
We highlight interesting mods for the community's sake and as a way to show just how awesome a game is when its fans make comprehensive mods. We do, IIRC, state in those highlights that they are use at your own risk or there is at least an implied "caveat emptor" of sorts.

Sorry, I missed this question over the weekend as I was playing Journey of a Roach :)

marianne: Wow...I sure am curious about this game...I think I'll have to check into it !!
Ooops...Not the Roach one, the other "risky" or "risque" one.
You mean Giants: Citizen Kabuto?
