Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they're determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

a tool for backing up offline installers
ability to install previous versions of a game
extra insight into the preservation work they're doing.
voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can't remember.

Hahahaha. After cyberpunk was shit and still now Linux support?! Yeah fuck them. If I need DRM free games I'll pirate. They're just a leech

I was seriously just finally starting to become interested in using them a lot more for gaming since I got some success getting it to work on my Linux install. This would make me do a full 180 though...

Voting rights and extra insight are fine, but I feel a "Humble Bundle"-esque membership would work well. For $x a month you get a few games to keep.

I hope they're not seriously considering locking option 2 behind a paywall. IMO that should be a required feature for all platforms, and should be free. If I buy a game at a specific version, I should always be able to play that version.
