I used to like GOG until they tried to force you to launch games through their own launcher instead of them being their own standalone applications.

To my knowledge you can still download all offline installers without needing to ever use their launcher.

That being said, their launcher, GOG Galaxy[0] is amazing, and allows you to get a full overview of your games library across several services like GOG, Steam, Epic, etc. all in one place.
