No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

GOG was recently bought from CDPR and is now owned by one of the co-founders, if I remember right. The focus shift towards finally giving the bare minimum of fucks about Linux likely has something to do with that.

CDPR is the game dev studio. Their parent company, CD Projekt was who owned GOG. CDPR had nothing to do with it.
