It's GoG's ethics that I love. They walk the talk.
I'm no gamer, but I bought The Witcher on Steam with the aim of playing it in a language I'm learning. Seemed like a solid and fun challenge. But Steam's version of The Witcher wouldn't even load on OSX, despite it being sold as such.
GoG, rather kindly, offered a download for folk experiencing this problem, providing you provided a valid key for the game. My complaint to Steam has never been answered.
See, to me, GoG add value to the customer -- even though I wasn't one at that point. They are focussing on things from a customer's POV. That's the kind of business I want to do business with.
GoG is the current wearer of the "Don't be evil" crown.
By the way, GOG offers downloads of Witcher 1 and 2 for anyone who purchased the game elsewhere (retail, Steam, etc.) not just for those with that problem: https://secure.gog.com/witcher/backup
The company which develops the Witcher series (CD Project Red) actually owns GOG.
