Well while we continue to wait for the final scores of our biggest CYS contest ever here (EDIT: we already got the results), we haven't had a good old fashioned "Let's laugh at the CoGites!" (And especially the company which seems determined to alienate their own fanbase at every opportunity) thread in awhile so here's one now.

Apparently the sexual experience of text waifus are SERIOUS fucking business.

This is all just Lol.

Mainly because this is CoG and this shit is boringly predictable anyway so why even worry about it? Love Interest characters generally just go along with you as long as you don't horribly betray them or something.

Seriously, there's never a case in any where the main character tries to turn a hoe into a housewife and after sex, she says something like "Yeah, that fucking sucked. You obviously don't know what you're doing and this ain't gonna work out. Later."

If there actually WAS something like that, that would at least be more interesting.

Oh and apparently there's some CoG game where you can actually asked to be CUCKED. Predictably many CoGites picked this and then hilariously got angry about the results.

Well as they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

There was also a question posed recently if CoG games were focused towards males. Yeah, beta males. Lol.

Wait... Is this a CoG incel?

"I accept only the purest of waifus! No way am I sticking my dick in a Stacey! That Revna bitch has probably fucked so many Chads, it'd be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway."

Honestly that's paling in comparison to the whole cuck thing that I guess some CoG game called War for the West has going on.

Actually getting a choice asking to be cucked. Then readers getting pissed about it when she cheats on them.

Just Lol.

The outrage! I mean it's not like they can just play the game again and... You know... Choose not to get cucked?

I don't think CoGites know what "choices" are. I mean, just look at Paradox's story.

Apparently someone got triggered over the term "normal pizza" in a text because it implied that veggie pizza wasn't normal and that was offensive to vegetarians so the author changed it.

Lol.

That... Might just be the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.

Though I am curious what is considered "normal pizza"... Pepperoni?

Nah, that's one of those weird, unnatural vegetarian pizzas.

What does RO mean in this context?

Thanks. Man, I know that CoG is monetized, so your reply just made me think of a sick monetization scheme where the reader has to buy those coins with real money and then spend those coins in order to unlock characters and read the sex scenes. I hope you hadn't meant it literally.

I think it's more a case of:

This one was so cringe even other CoGites didn't want to put up with her.

Banned of course. Lol.

... I would say this is, without a doubt, the least cute pie I have ever seen.

Lol.

Just Lol.

For a second there, I thought he was talking about his own game, which would have been exceptionally CoGish. As it is... I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was exaggerating. Even if he wasn't though, I'd say this is probably one of the least insane things I've seen a CoGite say. Good thing CutiePie got banned or she'd probably be in the forum complaining that her superhero character didn't have the exact superhero powers that she wanted, and throwing a huge hissy fit about it.

As for The Hero Project... I was about to defend the game and say that I actually really enjoyed it. Then I double checked and realized that the game I was thinking of was Community College Hero, and I've never played The Hero Project in my life, so... Carry on. ^_^

Super hero shit in general seems to be popular at Cog, must be the whole idea of running around in colorful gay ass spandex.

It's weird when I think about it and realize that Batman (who runs around in some kind of bat-eared gimp suit) probably has the least gay superhero outfit. ^_^

The limp wristed hand of the CoGopo is still silencing dissent on all their platforms.

Good to know that the mods are working hard to keep the forums safe from all those pesky fans wanting to talk about popular games that the company directly profits from. ^_^

The great thing about all this is I've got a whole new source where I get these tidbits. No need to even look at anything CoG related directly at all. (Not that I was really doing it for years now anyway)

It took me an embarrassingly long time to put together cogite and choice of games llc

Fortunately for them CoGites tend to be a masochistic lot and will still continue to buy shit despite abuse. Hell, they've banned some really pathetically weak willed authors that for some strange reason still publish with them despite getting banned.

Though that hasn't really been working out as well lately given all the defections to Twine and such.

Looks like even some of the CoG pirates don't like their shit.

Love how the second guy began by calmly trying to reason with the first guy, then ended his comment by explaining all the reasons why the first guy should kill himself. ^_^

Where is this even from?

I think that was from sbenny.

Welps, considering I've already bought like 40+ games, too late to pirate now. At least there's no chance the cops will go busting down my door.

"I've already bought like 40+ games" -DingDong

Thanks for contributing to the thread directly. Lol.

Ey, it ain't my fault! All of them were before I actually discovered how Jason's quite a prick. Like, I know he was already a bit of a prick, but not QUITE a prick, y'know what I mean?

Also, just checked sbenny. Couldn't find those posts.

I figured it was sbenny since piracy was being discussed in the KAE discord and someone posted this screenshot. They didn't link to it, so maybe it's some other pirate site.

Bitch, you even look at a pirated Tally Ho, I cut you! >.<

Gower said it's okay to pirate as long as you aren't telling him about it.

Well if more CoGs were like this, they might suck less.

Major points off for having a restart choice rather than ending the game though.

LMAO! Which game is this? ^_^

I dunno, someone just posted it and never mentioned what game it was from. I'm going to guess it was something not complete yet.

EDIT: Some game called "Departure."

So remember a few posts up about people getting triggered about veggie pizza being described "offensively" in a game?

Yep, CoG just loses authors to Twine left and right nowadays. Lol

@Avery_Moore

Apparently this withdraw from CoG I'm told is similar to the situation you had in that they had a complete game ready, but CoG fucked around and just lost it by treating the author like trash.

Daymn. Wonder what happened with this guy.

I did have one game published under Hosted Games, and everything went well with that, but I think they've gone through some changes in staff since I left. No idea what the experience is for a modern day Choice Script author, but judging by the amount of authors jumping ship, I'm guessing not great.

Didn't actually have any communication with Jason when I was publishing The Dryad's Riddle. Don't think he has all that much to do with Hosted Games, so I'm wondering if the "unprofessionalism" comes from a staff member that I've never dealt with, or if there's some forum related drama going on behind the scenes.

At this point, I just feel like there should be a CoG survivors meeting where all the former authors come together and share how CoG fucked them over.

There's kind of all these little communities like that now. They're just not really unified, lot of Tumblrs and such.

That Samurai series still keepin it classy. On the forum there's been people complaining about how the games really want to to sex up the child, the MC just keps repeatedly thinking about it and also having sexual thoughts about their psycho abusive ex even when the player gives every related choice a hard no over and over again every single time. (Although looking at polls and things it seems many of the readers find the psycho hawt, I guess that's the Semra effect at work.)

But remember how Jason made a big show of pretending Price of Freedom, as a non gorey story about teenage gladiators was too sickening in concept to even consider reading or publishing (after he'd already agreed to publish it) and that Avery was some kind of monster for writing it?

Seems like there's some kind of moral lesson here, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

He also told everyone that Price of Freedom contains "child sexual abuse" which it does not contain, nor did I ever say anything to suggest that it did.

Well that's CoG, making you pay to get raped.

At least around here we'll rape you for free!

Suicidal Sammy crawled back to suck my dick and is making me money again, focus on his shitty wannabe edgelord game instead! - Jason

I didn't even realize Sammy was banned. What was it he got banned for? "Disagreeing with mods" or some equally bullshit excuse, or did he actually do something ban worthy?

He's like been banned a couple times and in his case it was legit since he'd throw tantrums on the forums whenever things weren't going his way. One thing he'd also do a lot is make sock puppet accounts to praise his own posts or something similar.

Probably one of the biggest thing he did was he got busted for talking shit about a staff member on a discord. Said one of the tranny mods was blowing Jason or something to get the job. That got leaked on the forums

"Who the fuck posted that? Great, I might as well kill myself now." - Suicidal Sammy

So then he tried to do damage control by attempting frame Mara with poorly made screenshots. But he and his buddies even bungled that since the screen shots had some of their conversation about framing Mara in them. Lol.

Also at the time he pissing and moaning about his wannabe edgelord game not being accepted and some other author calling him all sorts of bigots/misogynists over there and a few of his buddies started harassing the other author.

Though CoG nowadays is so desperate for money that they've started just publishing anything nowadays thanks to a lot of authors going to Twine/itchio. Hence why they've probably allowed Sammy back in. Not to mention he apparently cut out some of the edgier content anyway.

So basically being an all round cringy faggot as usual.

Anyway, there's more detail in the HATE archives.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about that! Poor Mara. What they try to frame her for? Was she the one that leaked it or something?

Oh, well in that case, throw the bitch to the wolves! ^_^

Even Jesus thinks Sammy's a cringy faggot.

Lol, not even one of CoG's top authors (The Samurai Pedophile Guy) likes their shit.

Glad to see the NFT shills are still hearing about Jason's great idea of payment.

So one thing that's been going on in the ever splintering CoG kingdom is their newer games have been featuring shitty artwork. Worse, this is often the case of the author of said game not even having any say over the artwork they want used (if at all).

Complaints on that front have been rolling in and Bad King Jason had this response:

Nevermind the fact that CoG fans have been asking for a save feature for YEARS.

Lol.

A true Cogite leader folks.

Pretty sure R. Kelly wrote a song called "Age ain't nothing but a number" ... Which was then performed by his 15 year old lover. Solid advice there. ^_^

Writing fanfic of something and then demanding it should be canon is some hilarious shit.

Bollocks to that! Semra x Suzy 4eva!!! ^_^

Can't say it's too surprising when they're advertising shit like an eldritch horror game based on what genders you can play as and who you can romance.

Talk about missing the whole fucking point of playing as an eldritch horror.

Play as male, female, or nonbinary
You can be trans, cis, gay, straight, bi, ace, partnering aro, or choose to stay single.
Pursue romance with a headstrong waitress, a moody store clerk, a mystifying newcomer, or an unconventional cult leader.
Four monogamous routes, and one polyamorous route.

Will you break free from your prison of flesh?

This is some serious bait and switch lol.

Huh? Paid based on the first week of sales? How does that work? I thought CoG always paid the author a certain percentage of the sales revenue.

I hate it when games/stories do that polyamory stuff, it always feels too much like wish fulfillment. 

So apparently on top of fucking this Passenger guy over money wise in only getting paid for the first week, they also didn't bother advertising it very well as someone pointed out in another game thread.

Silencing your clients? Sure thing!

Lol

lol

Apparently that thread is turning into a minor shit show. 

So apparently this Russian alphabet person that wrote some gay superhero shit that everyone hates came back to CoG and he got mobbed again.

Lol, fag.

Well as you can expect the overzealous CoG mods deleted all the "mean" posts as is typical of their operating procedure over there.

The KAE folks hilariously REALLY hate the guy, though he just seems like another overly sensitive CoGite faggot that just writes boring faggy romance shit like the rest. Can't really tell one from another over there.

It's like why read the shit, if you already know it's going to be shit and expecting a different result.

Cyclonis might be a minor CYStian character, but his actor really nailed this line:
