Cifer84: Thank you for the warning about removal of games! Because of license issues, okay, commercial success on GOG was my other theory. I don't want to take a risk and buy the GOG games on my wishlist soon.
GOG don't remove a game because
they want to (say, because they think it doesn't sell well enough), but only because the
publisher tells them to. In the issue of rights issues, it's not even that the publisher want to remove it, but because the publisher no longer has rights to sell something that is used in the game - say a piece of music, or the depiction or logotypes of real-life organisations/people - if the game is changed to no longer contain said content, it can most likely be sold again.
It doesn't have to be rights issues though, the owner may decide for another reason to no longer sell the game here (one example being Armello).
