      Why would GOG give the work they did to a competing storefront?

      If you value the work, support the people who did it.

      They’ve done it forever, it’s been part of their initial concept for ages. Lots of the actual old games on there (as the name Good Old Games is derived from) are pre-patched to work on modern machines without setup, often also including community patches if there are any.

      gog has a bunch of tweaks for the stuff they host. I’m guessing it’s either a clause in the contract for their storefront, or this is a volunteer for the game preservation program.
