BigBobsBeepers: Gog does have third party developer EULAs on some games I believe, but they are forced to put such there by the ones who offer the games to Gog for sale. Depending on where you live they might not even be fully enforceable though.

Zrevnur: I have "heard" that here in Germany EULAs shown only after buying something have no legal standing. (Note that although it is just 'hearsay' for me it is consistent with my understanding of consumer protection laws here. I am not a law professional or anything like that though.)

See for general EU consumer protection directive - note that the forum doesnt like this link so I cant make it clickable: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/bibliotheque/briefing/2013/130624/LDM_BRI(2013)130624_REV1_EN.pdf
I heard some EU countries do that. I wish more did.

teceem: I'm not defending GOG's removing of older offline installers though.
Nor am I. I can understand their argument that it would be confusing to keep all old installers on one page, but in my eyes it shouldn't be a problem to have the old installers in an extra rollback section (account-> games -> more -> old installers).

tomimt: That reminds me of an experiment a dev made a couple of years back. He added a line to his EULA that promised anyone contacting him within a certain perioid 10 bucks. No one contacted him.

I think doing this as standard is a lot of work and UI clutter for no real reason. However it would be nice if, when there's a patch that causes issues or changes content, GOG could be made aware of a unique case and then upload an older version under the bonus section.

The way this kind of stuff works is rather: If its automatic then all it takes is one so-so programmer to realize it once. And then it works and the only 'clutter' is that one extra menu point. On the other hand your solution means continued work for GOG support. (Of course I dont know if they have one so-so programmer. Evidence unfortunately suggests they either dont or dont make good use of them.)

That seems like a feature I would get behind as well.
