GoG please don't start making exclusivity deals with devs for the storefront. The appeal of being on PC is the freedom of choice. You of all companies should know that, considering you're aware of the freedom to own and do with games as you please that appeals to customers. Its the same garbage Epic does with some PC releases. Games should be on as many stores as possible, ideally.
"maybe they wanted it to be drm free"
Contrary to popular belief it is entirely possible to release a game on Steam for example DRM free. There are DRM free games on Steam; Trails of Cold Steel, for example, does not require using the Steam client at all after you purchase it there.
This is very clearly GoG paying developers for exclusivity rights on the platform, and that's really scummy. GoG is cool. DRM free games are cool. Intentional store exclusivity is not.
