This is all a load on nonsense for me..
I'm a PC gamer and I like gog. I'm very happy to buy aything on gog becasue they trust me. They do not waste time with DRM and I do not support DRM, its unnecessary and impractical.
Gotta upvote for the reference to good ol games. GoG is a great site.
But Consoles have historically been well removed from the DRM wars. It is extremely frightening to me to see DRM enter a mainstream console. If the PS4 follows suite, I'm probably gonna have to boycott both systems and stick with the WiiU.
1. You are after older games, so you are probably older, and less likely to be a thief. (And even less likely to write screeds about how you aren't really stealing it.)
2. The games have already gone through the peak of their popularity cycle, so they have already captured the bulk of their revenue. Anything now is just a bonus.
3. The price is so low that they don't lose much to piracy even if someone steals it.
I haven't even made it all the way through the last bunch of things I got from GoG, but when I do I'm headed right back there to get some more stuff.
You know gog sell new games now too? For instance 18% (roughly) of the witcher 2s sales were on gog.
Also they've become a distributor of new indie games like fez or legend of grimrock

Gog is great!
There's a reason they trust you:
1. You are after older games, so you are probably older, and less likely to be a thief. (And even less likely to write screeds about how you aren't really stealing it.)
2. The games have already gone through the peak of their popularity cycle, so they have already captured the bulk of their revenue. Anything now is just a bonus.
