I can't remember but there have been two games where the "it's your game, offline installer" promise was broken on Gog. Have they since come out to restate that promise?
I always felt a bit sad that before I could just KNOW that it'll work that's gog! but since that time I always have to double check and by that point why not just use steam?
Can't find anything about those broken promises at a glance
It was HITMAN released on GOG with always online DRM and removed after backlash. They obviously refunded to everyone.

Thank you!
Yes that was the one! They ultimately just removed the game right? I can't find it. They cannot cede an inch otherwise the game store is pointless. I'm glad it's gone.
Gwent comes to mind as an undownloadable game, which must be run from the first-party launcher, it is a free game (not counting in-game spending) which is always-online, so practically the antithesis of GOG
GOG and CD PROJEKT splitting up should ensure this is not going to happen in the future as much.
