    GoG Vault would disagree with you on that.

    You can download the full installers and keep them, nobody can take them away or disable it remotely

      What they mean is that technically you still are being granted a license to use it. The same was true for things like DVD movies. They’re technically correct, but missing the point.

      They are free to disagree on laws but they are still bound by them.

      That’s true but if your license is revoked, you’re illegally in possession of the game assets.
