They suck.

Having a game on GOG is the same as not having it to me. I will pay for it on steam before playing it for free on GOG. Their launcher sucks (and unless it's very recent doesn't even support Linux despite their whole premise being supporting open shit), and manually updating games sucks. Plus they don't get up to date versions even if you do use their awful launcher.

It's not a book or movie where the source doesn't matter. Convenient updates are obligatory for modern gaming to function correctly.
