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.

That's not true at all - the games are still downloadable from the website and every single one of them is a standalone app.

Which game are you talking about?

Not forcing but aggressively pushing it. At one point in time the offline installers were quite well hidden; nowadays they can be easily found under the "install with GOG Galaxy" button.
