GoG isn't the publisher. Y'all don't read the shit you agree to, and know fuck all about media distribution. You've never owned a video game, a movie, or even a book that isn't in the public domain. You've only ever owned licenses for personal use, and those licenses have always been provisional and revokable. Always. Your ignorance is not change that.
Enhance your calm. I was merely pointing out that the game installers are offline for GOG, meaning there's not a physical mechanism to cut you off. As you mentioned, if it's online, then they can cut you off, which is true for Steam but not GOG.
