I imagine GOG is exempt?
Why would they be? They sell games, and have a storefront and launcher.
Because I can download and save installers for GOG games and install them without needing to connect to GOG at all. It's more akin to buying physical media than it is to Steam or other storefronts.
It's talking about games that require an always on connection. You can save the installer for games like that, but the game still won't work if it can't phone home.
I'm well aware — that's the whole point of DRM-free games.
