GOG is known for delivering DRM-free games and maintaining older titles, but an update to a user-created spreadsheet shows just how many issues there are with the games it offers. Next time you shop for a game, you'll want to check this out.
It’s a shame, but GOG is still my default store. They make it difficult to shop for multiplayer games there though. They need to create some kind of incentive (carrot, not stick) to make sure devs keep their games in parity. They all talk about how hard it is to support multiple stores and then also complain about Steam being a monopoly. The reason they have so much market share is staring at the developers in the mirror.
Same here, the only thing this news does is making me aware which devs to avoid in the future. I see no reason to support someone who treats their paying users this way.
As for GOG itself, they actually started taking this issue seriously and are actively working on getting the missing updates and content on the store. Here is a forum thread run by GOG team member with updates about what they managed to hunt down. Progress is slow but hopefully they’ll be able to reach parity for most (if not all) games eventually.

No multiplayer, and no regional pricing. Also… no games, which’s not their fault to be fair, but like 90% of my library is not on GOG.
