It's the achievments for me. Achievement Watcher doesn't work on GOG games installed offline.

I usually grab clean steam files on cs.rin and "crack"(my vocab sucks) the games by myself by using goldberg emu. Problem is the games I want isn't always uploaded and updated unlike Scene releases. Tbf they're not cracked immediately. You'd still have to copy the steam emu on the game directory first before you could run it.

Also, anyone who owns the game on GOG could just share it by downloading the offline installer on GOG Galaxy. There's no cracking happening so I think it's not Scene's job to upload DRM free games. We also have gog-games doing that.

It's just tradition, I guess..
