1. Nostalgia. Extremely old games that many of us remember playing long ago, and would absolutely love to play again.
2. Extras/fixes. Now all of these nostalgic old games can run on modern PC configurations without those pesky bugs and glitches. On top of all that, you get copies of all the goodies that came with games back when the boxes were huge, the manuals were thick, and reference cards and maps were commonplace.
3. Value. I can show up on GOG one day and walk away with a game for the price of a fast food meal, and it will both last longer and be far more satisfying.
Anything that is done to infringe upon any of these points weakens the site as a whole. I can safely say that there are only a few games I would throw down more than $10 for in the field of possibilities for GOG, and there are all too many sales that could be lost through overpricing.
You forgot 4. DRM Free ;-)
