Can't find anything about those broken promises at a glance

It was HITMAN released on GOG with always online DRM and removed after backlash. They obviously refunded to everyone.

Yes that was the one! They ultimately just removed the game right? I can't find it. They cannot cede an inch otherwise the game store is pointless. I'm glad it's gone.

Thank you!

Gwent comes to mind as an undownloadable game, which must be run from the first-party launcher, it is a free game (not counting in-game spending) which is always-online, so practically the antithesis of GOG

GOG and CD PROJEKT splitting up should ensure this is not going to happen in the future as much.
