I’m cynical about this simply because “shareholders” are involved. Possible enshittification ahead.

How are there shareholders when he owns 100%? Nothing is shared.

CD Projekt has shareholders. Shareholders expect revenue growth with less to no expense growth.
GOG wants to grow expenses (developing patches for niche games) with little potential for revenue. Shareholders don’t tend to like doing things for goodness sake, while private owners can do whatever they like.

As long as they offer DRM free games I’ll buy. No sense worrying now about something that may not come to pass. They’re still a massive underdog who have seen epic and ea fail at stores, and they know their edge is DRM free
As soon as they give up DRM free I’ll stop giving them money

Most likely nothing will change.
