  Yeah? The majority of the IPs of games sold on GOG are still owned by someone that isn’t CDPR and they could cancel whatever agreement they had to sell their stuff on GOG.

    I have bought a game on gog, how can the publisher revoke that game from me now that I have it?

    Not aware of any games on gog that are always online

      They couldn’t take it away from you but they could tell GOG to stop selling and distributing it, which would mean you’d need to have it backed up already or you won’t be able to obtain the offline installer again from GOG.

        So the same thing with physical, the shop could be told to stop selling and distributing it.

        Also don’t gog usually only stop sales rather than distribution from existing purchases?

        Agreed on stopping sales but doubt the second. Once you have it in library, you should be able to download it at anytime. Even Steam does it so GOG should also do it given their stance right?
