I own and buy games from GOG. Especially if its a game i like. That way its actually mine. I hope they never change.

It's not yours. You buy a revocable license. Read their TOS.

does it matter if that license is only needed to download the game? once you have it downloaded, it doesn't matter if the license gets revoked (it only grants you the ability to download the game, and use galaxy online/social features such as achievements and multiplayer)
