GOG serves a lot of functions in that it claims to be an archive or storefront for many 'good old' classics and made solving compatibility issues in the form of a convenient .exe installation. They had promotions up for sales of the games both old and new and introduced some cool perks like syncing with Steam library and price protection.
No business is perfect but to truly stand out as service I think it needs to really focus on one aspect of service and run away with it. Did GOG excel in a lot of the areas? Not really.
I hoped GOG could get or even outright own more titles that are simply not possible to emulate with DOSbox or some other methods available on the net but only through their own programming and resources to run flawlessly. There's some uniqueness to that many would find it novel, but not really profitable. But I know I will pay the same price adjusted for inflation to get Safedisc infested High Heat Baseball 2001 to run on Win 10. And again for Combat Mission to run without Alt+Tabbing it out and in every goddamn time.
Maybe it just rests on CD Projekt make Cyberpunk 2077 GOG exclusive for a year...Or at least fill the release date with GOG exclusive perks and gifts.
