GOG.com on Game Ownership

GOG.com had some fun at the expense of rival store Steam in a posting on X following the news that Valve has a new checkout warning reinforcing that licensed games on Steam are not owned. All games sold on GOG are DRM-free, and cannot be revoked, resulting in a little pwnership on ownership:
Since checkout banners are trending, we're thinking of putting one up ourselves. Thoughts on this one?

A purchase of a digital product on GOG grants you its Offline Installers, which cannot be taken away from you.

The only major problem with GoG is that it can take forever for games to get updates/patches whilst being patched on Steam long before. Sometimes not at all.

My two favorite platforms are GOG and Steam. It's not often that GOG can take a shot at Steam since Valve's platform does many orders of magnitude more in revenue than GOG, but they owned Valve on this one.
