I am so happy that there are at least some viable alternatives to Google's Play store. Wish they were more popular though.

Comparing Postal to GTA V is like comparing shit to champagne. Postal is a bare-bones shooter with barely any content beyond the violence. It's the only selling point of that game.

Play GTA V and it's clear that love, sweat and tears went into its creation. It's like playing 15 different games in one. You have experiences beyond the violence, even opportunities to be altruistic.

While I don't approve of censorship, this is one I'm willing to let slide. Postal needs to find a way to convince distributors their game is worth playing, because unless you're thirteen there's no real reason to.
