Witcher 3 hard copies required activation to your GOG account before they could work. Hitman (2016) was 70% locked behind the worst DRM in human history, but they sold it on their store until they were pressured by customers not to.
And Devotion still ain't 'preserved' because the CCCP hivemind told them not to have it on their site, and they obeyed instantly.
GOG can suck all the dicks with that self-righteous bullshit.
Oh shit they're not 100% perfect
And they don't do regional pricing. Buying a game on GOG is nearly twice as expensive in my currency compared to someone in the US or EU.
So your examples for why they're bad are something they did a decade ago and something they did because the alternative was losing their entire Chinese market.
You're scraping the barrel. GOG must be doing things right if this is all you can come up with.
Well there's the Nazi emails and gen AI sale art if you want something more recent.
