    Oh course not, but the fact this is an outcome for games that are only 6 years old rather flies in the face of their mandate.

      Their mandate is that they’re selling the games with a DRM free installer. If it’s delisted, you can still install that game DRM free on anything else as long as you have the files.

      Get a USB stick with a cool design, put the installer on it, yeet it in a video game box, throw some box art on it, and you basically have the physical game.

      If it feels like the physical game is something else entirely, but I think their mandate is being lived up to just fine :)

      It is, in fact, because the games are only 6 years old. The publisher thinks they’re losing money by selling on gog. And, for people who have already purchased the game on gog, they can still access the downloads.
