## Summary

GOG's managing director acknowledged that the company's 2020 decision to refuse selling Taiwanese horror game Devotion damaged its credibility. The game was controversial for an in-game poster mocking Chinese president Xi Jinping, leading to its removal from Steam and termination of publishing agreements. GOG admitted it lacked understanding of the geopolitical complexities at the time and made the decision based on business constraints. The company has since tried to rebuild trust by supporting other controversial titles like Horses.
