GOG basically acknowledges piracy in a meme (slrpnk.net)

You can copy the entire game folder and run it that way, as long as the game is actually DRM free it should work just fine.

So no installer then? Or can you download that separately?

You would use Steam as the installer, or you can buy it on GoG and they will give you an installer for the game. Entirely depends on what game you're trying to copy.

Thank you! I have about 5 games on steam, so I haven't installed it on my system. The only interesting one is Doom 2016, so for a moment I thought I could download the installer as a backup without having to use steam anymore in the future when I do want to play it again. Would have been nice. Thanks for clarifying!
