They did say that GOG didn't mean "Good Old Games" anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them...

They'd be crazy to stop that. As you said, it's one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.
