People talking about money kinda missing the point this is a culture issue. They need to sort themselves out clean house if people can't be reasonable for their staff.

Thankfully if GOG goes down I don't lose anything.
Now if Steam goes down, I lose my entire library
Gabe Newell has promised that if Steam goes down you won't lose your library, but we only have his word as assurance.
No doubt the corporate drones that take over after his death will shit all over his legacy.

Anything that uses steam apis and services won't work without steam and steam offers a lot of that to game devs

There's nothing wrong with the business model of selling older games at affordable prices. This is about poor management. (Or deliberately bad management by a "CEO" who was hired to destroy GOG to remove a popular choice from us).
As a result, no one on the team has the courage to express their opinion. Under Gołębiewski, GOG typically makes business decisions that may be profitable in the short term, but may not contribute to the platform’s long-term growth.
Why half ass things when your the good guy?
"no pun intended"
I hope they stick around they are great for gaming. I need to buy off there more often.
The publication added that CD Projekt cuts jobs at its subsidiary every two to three years, with annual staff turnover reaching around 30%.
As summed up by another former employee, “GOG has been acting well tactically from a financial perspective, but poorly strategically, and the current business model is likely running out of steam.”
So nothing burger? Other than a corpo being anti-worker which is not news..

GameWorldObserver.
Can they be trusted?
Any other sources for this? Not for the job cutting, but for GoG's business model going downhill? Haven't big layoffs happened every few years since the start of GoG?
