@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.)
