    The headline is slimy

    Are you referring to the use of the word “killshot”? Otherwise, the headline says exactly the same thing.

    Its offline installers ‘cannot be taken away from you’

    No implication of outright ownership, just that they can’t take away the offline installers. I mean, I guess it doesn’t outright say “that you’ve already downloaded,” but given the length, I’d say that’s a passable omission.

      We don’t have to do this. It’s the juxtaposition of GOG’s claim paired being intentionally paired with the steam disclaimer so as to present it as if an alternative.
