There's also itch.io, which is great. It does have a lack of game selection, but we're comparing it to GOG, so...

Yeah itch lacks the bigger titles GOG has been able to pull.

At the same time, GOG hasn't been able to pull many, and Itch has much better indie coverage, including for the higher-end indies, due to its much smaller royalty fee. I'd say they're pretty even overall, with Itch catering to Indies and GOG to old games.

GOG has been closer to offering the more mainstream indies and big studio titles that interest me. I guess itch library doesn't really appeal as often to my tastes.

That's completely fair. I personally really like the site because it feels like being part of a creative community, but that also makes the selection of games that are available more eclectic.
