Considering games with no DRM can have it added retroactively, that Steam pushes updates I may not want with no option to decline, and that that wiki can’t even load in its entirety without erroring out for me and comes down to user submitted data, GOG’s DRM free promise is more than just advertising.

Maybe. If you trust them, though now… I don’t.

The reason why this doesn’t concern me at all is that the very nature of the business I run means that I explicitly don’t have to trust them.

Does it? What recourse do you have if they change their policy and you don’t have local backups of your games?

If ownership is what you’re worried about, why wouldn’t you already have the installers downloaded and backed up?

Undoing DRM-free quickly enough that I couldn’t download my remaining installers would be speedrunning the failure of a company faster than Unity, but other than that, they can’t take away what I and others have already downloaded.
