If Steam ever get arsey with me, I'm damn sure going to be making the publishers uphold their contract.

It's always the same simple logic:

You buy the rights of a game -> you own a game.
You buy the license to play a game -> you own a license to play a game.

You always own what you buy. We only have to declare more clearly what we actually buy.

If GOG says they sell you games and speak of games libraries they are actually a bit sloppy. In truth it's only licenses to play a games and libraries of licenses to play games.
It's your good right to do so. I for example think this would be only consequent. It's very hard though. Are you prepared to live without games? (Or do you want to go over to the dark side?)

I take a bit less consequent and more muddy path between light and darkness. I pay for the games, I don't sell them, but I will certainly share them with family members and I will certainly not erase them when I die. Everything else would be totally ridiculous. If GOG insists on that they can stick the EULA up their ....

but every digital store in the world sell license of use... and every store in the world say they sell t you games, ebooks, movies etc... gog does the same as everyone else, so for me it's ok.

I understand the fine differences too but just look in this thread and you see that there is a bit of confusion about it. And I think GOG should not just do what everyone else does but actually do what is right and have a visible explanation somewhere during buying process like: "You know, if we talk about games we actually mean licenses for games, so you only buy a license here." so everyone can know exactly what he/she is actually buying. I also don't like that you cannot see the EULAs for each game before buying. This is basically unfair behavior and should be made illegal.

Dishonored didn't let you see the EULA until AFTER it was installed.
