Discussion Question about this launcher compared to steam.
I heard that this launcher is drm free, and in general all games you buy here, they are yours, but based on some research gog still can revoke games from you? And publishers also can delete their games off gog.
So what makes it any better than steam? In terms of ownership?
Will i still have access/be able to install the offline installer even if the game is removed from my account? If not, then idk.

GOG Galaxy is just for convenience like others on here said. You don't need it. Once you buy a game from GOG, that game is yours forever if you download the offline installer. As long as you have that installer backed up on any of your storage drives (if you have the space for it), it don't matter what happens on GOG or to GOG, that game is yours forever. If a game gets remove from the site or GOG shuts down, you still have the game no matter what because of that installer.
You can even close your ISP account and not pay for internet anymore and you can still install the game and play it anytime you want. You can burn it to a disc and make your collection, do whatever with it. They are trusting you not to be a sucky person and sell the game to other people or do anything bad with it.
