It would be welcome if they felt such a sting that they relented, but most of these major players just throw away complete pieces of art. Look at Batgirl, or the PC port of Ghost of Yōtei.
It wasn’t free cash, since the ports cost money to make … but they are throwing money away, especially with all the money down the hole on Ghost of Yōtei.
Yes, that show is notably fiction, though so firmly rooted in the reality of Silicon Valley that it was at times almost painful to watch while working and living there. Also everyone started calling me Gilfoyle.
This seems like a possibly good move to help make GOG concentrate on being even more G. Hard to see any likely downsides. Seems like a natural step in the maturity of both GOG and CDPR. Hopefully other investors see this the same way.

A clever enough person can get a useable general-purpose OS running on just about any hardware. The entire point is that it’s user-friendly out of the box.
It’s more problematic now, though. Writing something down recorded exactly what was inscribed; LLMs don’t actually think, but rather guess, far too frequently with disastrous results.
Writing things down to extend our secondary memory gave us more time to think; losing the ability to think defeats the entire purpose.
Who the heck didn’t like that?
