To be honest (and no disrespect intended), if I had to compare the two on this matter, Fronzel wins every damn time.

They probably (hopefully!) learnt from past mistakes, which is why they wouldn't want to refuse another Zachtronics title. The funny thing about the Opus Magnum rejection was how gog went a little out of their comfort zone with that rejection. "Too niche" had already become something of a laughing-stock meme on their forums, so instead of going with the boiler plate "too niche" rejection letter, they refused this game for "looking too much like a mobile game", which earned them even more scorn and ridicule.
Another idiosyncracy I noticed about their curation is how it seems that they will usually have a kind of test-the-waters release and if that one does well, they will absolutely drown you in similar games. There was a time when weebshit was pretty much verboten on gog. Then they took a chance by releasing a jRPG (The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky), which did exceedingly well. And they've seemingly been releasing anime-themed games every other day.
In other words: If Grimoire does well, there's a pretty good chance that they'll be releasing blobbers aplenty in the near future.
And yes, gog support is pretty helpful and forthcoming for the most part. It probably won't help too much as far as getting them to release a certain game on their platform is concerned, but if that game has a good number of votes on the wishlist, it can't hurt to point them towards it.
He probably got distracted because he was busy posting an archived link to Cleve's gog rejection rant in the Grimoire release thread on the gog forum in an effort to rile up the normies there. A_boring_GOG_bot, care to explain yourself?

It's the same guy alright, as confirmed by himself in this post. I also asked him on the gog forum if that's really him (thought it was weird that a gog regular just up and went spamming links on the 'dex of all places) and got this reply.
edit:
From what I've heard, that archived link has been making the rounds on some gog Discord server ahead of the Grimoire release. Apparently, people there were wondering about the controversies surrounding the game and Cleve and someone posted that link. It's entirely possible that this is how A_boring_GOG_bot got a hold of that link and he wasn't actually the one who archived it in the first place.

So did GOG suddenly stop being faggots or what happened?
No. No they did not. But they do like money, and as many of us know, there are a LOT of rich faggots in the world who love money and cock. Usually money more, though.
Polish sausage, it's more than just food. For many, it's a way of life.

Got Grimoire! Can't tell it apart from the demo, most of the portraits are awful and many things i thought were placeholders are not.
And still i am feeling very excited while playing it. It feels so cozy, like a game you have to play while drinking hot tea.

I got Grimoire as well. I got a bunch of games actually and I pretty much have acquired all I want from GOG's catalogue now, with like 3 (expensive) exceptions and some games I'll probably never play but are sitting in my wishlist for some reason. I took the time to comb through all the offers and there's a mountain of shit in there, there's more shit than good tbh. There are also seemingly nicher games than Grimoire, unless they sell like crazy and I'm just unaware of the broader market.
Anyway, my point is they need to get more old actually good games, their catalogue has quite a lot of holes, especially RTSes like Lords of Everquest and Armies of Exigo. It's actually very tough to get a hold of those.

Grimoire seems to be an homage to games from a bit before my time like Eye of the Beholder, but maybe I'll give it a go. So far I got Grimrock 2 finally and a few super cheap things I already had on Steam like Alien vs. Predator.

Holy Shit! The review of this game in CVG back in the day made it sound amazing but I've never got a chance to play it.
I'm actually kind of hyped.

Huh, so it's finally happened because the film production company behind Blade Runner 2049 also started doing video game business.
Can't wait for The Blind Side the Video Game.
