I own 170 games on GOG, and I only made these purchases because of how well the DRM free GOG games work in Wine on Linux. Having access to DRM-free installers made it possible for me to play a lot of games that I love on Linux.
With this development, I'll be prevented from doing that.
Furthermore, no matter how you try to argue for this change, it is DRM. This is limiting me in how I want to use the game I have purchased. Implementing DRM into your installers goes against your own principles, with this change you are no longer an alternative for me when it comes to digital purchases.
You sneak in DRM, the one thing you promised you would never do. I used to think very highly of GOG, but I can't say that anymore.
