I noticed the little changes. But i want to ask some things... Please bear with me and if possible, do provide me with valid answers...

a. Is Galaxy included in ALL game installers?
b. Are there CURRENTLY any games that won't run without Galaxy, or without internet connectivity of any type (excluding downloading the installer and files once)?
c. Will GOG abolish DRM-Free feature ultimately? First it was the fair pricing system (one of the main three, core, fundamental values around here), then it was the perfect freedom of speech (aka absence of moderation)... Now, is DRM-Free feature also jeopardized, or not? Honest answer and short one please, YES, or NO?
d. Will client and/or its functionalities of it thereoff, be obligatory for upcoming games, yes or not? Will someone be able to run games normally, as they always had, should they decide for throwing Galaxy outside their systems and permanently at that, too?

I expect serious answers and not the typical charismatic people doing what they do best around here as always. Besides, i might even show myself to the door, permanently at that too and closing it off behind, should the honest and valid questions i get dis-satisfy me... So come out straight and tell me EVERYTHING!

a) No
b) Gwent and Gremlins Inc. (second one has an alternative singleplayer offline version though)
c) and d) Nobody knows but GOG

1) No, and as it stands, the idea was abandoned. You will have the option of getting new installers with Galaxy and "classic" Galaxy-less installers for all games.

2, 3, and 4 as PaterAlf said. Good luck getting an "honest and short answer YES or NO" from GOG.

1. Currently, everything is working as per normal. You download your full game installers, install them offline, play your game offline, no internet connection, no DRM.

2. GOG wanted to start bundling all the installers with Galaxy, where Galaxy is automatically installed, if you don't tick the checkbox that says you don't want Galaxy to be installed. Due to the community raising up important issues to do with DRM, GOG has postponed this implementation (for now), and are researching into creating both "Non-Galaxy" and "Galaxy" installers for the future.

3. For the future, truly, nobody knows (except GOG). There is no official word at all from them. Everyone has their own personal opinions about this. If you ask me, GOG is simply allowing multiplayer-only games to be sold on their store. This is different from letting Single-player DRM games to be sold here (like, for example, allowing Dishonored 2 still wrapped with Denuvo to be up on the store). And Gwent is used to attract the masses who are used to clients through Galaxy. However, many justly argue that it could be a form of slowly allowing DRM to creep in and there should be more thought towards a better system (or a less forced system) in order to maintain DRM-Free.

Thank you very much for your replies. I got startled over nothing serious, i guess... Shame on me, i should have had more faith in GOG in the first place; old me went and forgot that they, UNLIKE OTHERS, use to take their clients' opinions into consideration, cater to them and all that. Honestly, much appreciated!

Guess what? People will never learn. Just like Fake News, burying someone 10 feet under, usually has quite the opposite effect, to the one they were seeking! Oh, well...
