    Pushing a shitty launcher,

    Fuck them. That’s horrible.

    selling abandoned games,

    Why is this a problem? It’s literally a good that those games aren’t being lost to oblivion

    selling incomplete games,

    As in unfinished? That’s the devs’ fault.

    putting DRMs on multiplayer,

    Without that there will be a humongous rise in cheating in online games

    selling a lot of low quality games

    Literally not an issue. They are a marketplace and frequented by indie devs, they can sell as many shitty games as they like. In fact I would like them to be more of a platform like itch.io

    not expanding their overworked team despite the profits they make

    You have no idea what you’re talking about, their org structure and project setup is not public and there is no way to know how “overworked” any team is as an outsider. You don’t even know what teams they have.

      The problem is not abandoned games, but selling them.

      The devs can only publish on GoG if GoG lets them.

      Multiplayer games existed long before DRMs and it worked. There are many solutions against cheating.

      Quality is an issue when GoG advertises hand-picked, high quality games.

      If the team is not overworked then it is not working, which is worse. I’d rather assume a lack of means than a lack of work, it’s the charity principle.
