zeroxxx: Strongly disagree.

GOG gives you the license as well, not anything else.

2. USING GOG.COM AND GOG CONTENT

You have the personal right to use GOG content and services. This right can be waived by us in some situations (examples are below). 2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a 'licence') to use GOG.com to download and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content and other GOG services. This licence is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this licence in some situations, which are explained later on.

GOG games might have extra EULAs (End User Licensing Agreement) for you to accept. 2.2 When you buy or install GOG games, you might have to agree to additional contract terms with the developer/publisher of the game (e.g. they might ask you to agree to a game specific End User Licence Agreement). If there is any inconsistency or dispute between those ‘EULAs’ and this Agreement, then this Agreement wins.

As for the video content, stream or download it and watch the way you want.

UhuruNUru: fuck the EULA, it's not legal if it's never enforced in the court.
I paid for the game, I have the installer, I don't give a damn about what the EULA says, I have the files, I paid for the right to use them, and as long as I possess that content I will play that game, whenever I choose to.

Laws be damned, it's morally indefensible, to try to claim otherwise, I have and always will break any states laws, if I deem them immoral.
I use a higher standard than mere laws, which can be corrupted, my morals are uncorruptable, and my principles are things, i will stand by regardless of distorted and corrupted laws.

Copyright laws are such laws, they were never intended to protect creators rights, indeed they were intended to remove the rights of creators, to their ideas. Copyright protected thieves who stole the creators IP, as if the idea could be owned.

Like many of our legal protections, they are designed to allow those with power and money, to remove the creators rights.
That some creators have turned the tables, was because a few got enough power and money to use that law to regain their IP.

Strange how JK Rowling never lost the right to create new Harry Potter books.
How come Game devs, lose the right to create the next franchise installment, morally it's indefensible, legally it happens.

infyrin: Go violate a EULA. I'll watch.

infyrin: Backup reasons. The "I don't wanna play this game on Steam" reasons. It can be varied. I'm just simply asking if GOG is going to want to hound you down if you have the setup file of a game even though you've deleted it from your steam library and you had it's GOG copy.

rampancy: However, if you had a game on Steam (which you also redeemed on GOG) that for legal reasons was taken off Steam, I don't think they'd necessarily penalize you if you already downloaded the game prior to its deletion. Depending on the legal nature of the game being pulled though, they may be forced to also delete it from your GOG account.

BlackThorny: I actually understand infyrin & UhuruNUru to some extent.
I too had a steam account before a Gog one, and I have some about getting some titles on steam (as opposed to on gog),
even if they were bundle fodder that I would probably will not double dip to have them on Gog as well.
And still, given the option to just move all of my steam games to Gog I would do it in a heartbeat and won't look back.
I'll probably won't go into deleting the account altogether (as I rather use it for Family sharing),
but it's very likely I'll opt to delete some of the more Gog oriented titles (mainly P&C and oldies) from steam - as they belong to be only on Gog and shouldn't be associated (by me) with the evil empire.
In such a case, if such a title will be removed from my Gog library as well, while I keep an installer, this will be piracy.
But this can be easily rectified: Just forward Gog the correspondence with steam that proves you payed and didn't cancel, and I'm sure Gog will honor it and return your license. Assuming you care enough about the title in question...
If you don't, well feel every right of still being a pirate even though the publisher was compensated like a Denuvo victim on smaller scale.
Either way, Gog will have nothing to do with it unless you force them one way or another.

SirPrimalform: Even if you didn't want to play the game on Steam any more, why would you have it removed from your Steam account? Isn't uninstalling it enough? I feel like I may have grossly misunderstood something here.

4nd1: gog is shit
