You still don’t own them. Read their ToS.

They don’t have to provide a way to ibstall the games in perpetuity, but I’m pretty sure the ToS don’t provide a way for them to stop you from keeping a DRM copy you’ve downloaded.

Back them up on a hard drive and their ToS doesn’t mean squat anymore. I guess that takes a little more effort and investment but if you want to own the game without DRM that will do it.

ToS doesn’t mean squat here if the law says otherwise. It’s insane to me that US has this the reverse way.

It’s not just the US. You don’t buy games from GOG, only licences which they can revoke at any time. This is not illegal.

Which doesn’t matter, because you can download the DRM-free game and back it up.

I prefer to buy from Steam because they allow me to play my games easily and invest time and money in Linux which results in more freedom for all gamers. I’ve been very disappointed with GoG’s record on Linux.
