GR00T: I don't. Given GOG's desire to push Galaxy and the fact that Gwent is already tied to it, I wouldn't at all put it beyond the realm of possibility that they tie Thronebreaker to Galaxy as well - very likely inadvertently as they probably will overlook the fact it's 'DRMed' that way and won't even think of it.
Gwent is tied to Galaxy because it's a competive online card game, Gwent makes perfect sense being tied to Galaxy due to that reason alone and because the nature of the game. Gwent Thronebreaker, however, isn't... and should not be viewed as the same just because they share the same name. They are different experiences based around a common concept. Anything is possible, but I don't see GOG making Thronebreaker depended on Galaxy unless there is some technical reason to do so, and based on what CDPR has stated it doesn't seem there will be.
Competitive online games are nearly always more popular than single player and usually substain a player base a lot longer than a single player game... Gwent would be far better for "pushing" Galaxy (if that is their goal) then Thronebreaker ever will. I guess we will see though, I really don't think GOG would make that mistake with a single player game after promoting Galaxy as an optional component except for online services. It would be stupid on their part.
