    I think part of this is, if later there are takedowns of these games, many people will experience them being removed from their ownership.

      in most cases delisting would prevent games from being purchased, not from being downloaded if you already have them.

      on GoG you could download the installer and install without the need of GoG. No takedown possible, thats the point of GoG.

        I mean yeah if you do that, but since it’s free and most people redeeming this giveaway aren’t actually interested in playing all of the games, they won’t have them downloaded.
