Steam continues to dominate the PC gaming market in both players and revenue, but GOG’s new owner believes its success comes down to convenience, not content quality. He says GOG plans to compete by focusing on a curated library of classic and modern titles rather than matching Steam’s scale.

    … If it requires an installer, then it it not your forever. That’s one hostile take over away from losing your ability to play a game

          @Jarix oh, that, yeah. GOG is currently in a decent position because it has a launcher, but it’s basically a “thin layer” on top of APIs that allow anyone to download the installers (plus some services to manage those installations). As long as the underlying APIs remain accessible, it’s fine. (This is e.g. how lgogdownloader allows one to archive their whole library for offline installation.)
