I hope you're paid well to spread this easily disproven lie.

We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a 'license') to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which are explained later on.

    This is just the license do download the game, not to install it.

    Once you've downloaded the software they can't revoke the license for that installer file.

    Yes they can. They cannot stop you from installing the game, but once they revoke your license, it would be piracy.

    GOG shills always twist reality to try to make it conform to the "you own you games" lie, but the truth is GOG is no different than Steam.

    How do you use a Steam game after its license was revoked?

    You're purposely ignoring the obvious differences between GOG and steam to fit what you believe. Have fun with that

    They can't, actually, because they don't hold the rights to that content, only to GOG and the installer. Once it's installed their distribution and license rights end.

    If the game you install has its own license from the rights holder that gets revoked then you'll be in breach of that license, if anything.

    How do you disprove that this "GOG content" are offline installer files that, as long as you keep them backed up, work indefinitely even if GOG revokes your license to download them again?
