Built a userscript that checks the publisher on Steam and GOG game pages against the Stop Killing Games Dead Game List. If the publisher has shut down always-online titles before, you get an amber banner with the reason.
Currently flags 16 publishers: Ubisoft, EA, Microsoft/Activision, Warner Bros, Bandai Namco, Sony, Square Enix, 2K, NCSoft, SEGA, Capcom, Rovio, Gameloft, NetEase, Nexon, Atari.
Open source, no tracking, dismissible banner.

Do any games on GoG exist that can be killed by a publisher?

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.
