I bought Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG because the developers get all my money then. They convinced me to get it, they deserve the biggest cut I can give them. I would've picked Steam if it were multiplayer because my friends would get it there, but since it's single player, GOG was my favorite choice.
GOG games are all legally licensed. GOG got its start by buying the rights to old games that were no longer in print, recoding them to work on modern operating systems, and then selling them. They still do that, but these days they're mostly a retailer, no different from any other online game retailer.
Short Answer: YES. SteamUnlock is a scam. It is a fake website which is basically a rip off of SteamUnlocked. Though SteamUnlocked is also a site for pirated games, it is much safer and usually don't have virus in their game files, (unless you click some random popups).
No, you don't ever need GOG Galaxy to install or play any game on GOG. It's purely an optional piece of software aimed at providing conveniences for people who want them, but it is completely optional and no game requires it.
GOG has made it very easy to run classic and new games on Windows 10, and all without any DRM.
GOG is not a pirate or cracking group. Removing DRM is a good thing for anyone owning an original product. They officially re-sell games and their modifications of the games make the more compatible with latest operating systems.
You can't invite this user because you have blocked him. There is no virus in Steam or GoG installer. Some anti virus programs sometimes get confused by the code.
The only differences are cdpr own gog so the purchase goes directly to the developer and where the game installs to so where you install mods. The only difference is that Valve gets a cut when you buy it from Steam, whereas there's none of that if you buy it from GoG since it's owned by CDPR.
According to the agreement that you agree to every single time you buy a game on Steam, "the Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services." You're not buying the games, you're buying the license to use them.
GOG Fixes a Lot of Steam's ProblemsAny game you buy from GOG comes completely DRM-free. You can download it as often as you want from GOG's servers, but you can also download backup copies of the installer for a game. You'll never need to register with the service in order to install them.
The first is even if Steam is going to close. All things change eventually, sure, but right now Steam is doing extremely well, so it's not likely to close.

Being easily accessible online, Steam is a good platform where gamers can purchase and download PC games directly into their computers. To buy games on Steam, users must register for a Steam account. This allows users to download their games on any digital platform that supports Steam by logging into their accounts.
To transfer games, you have to install GOG Connect, connect your Steam account, and let the app do the rest. You'll even be given the choice of using standalone installer for your games, or downloading them via the GOG Galaxy Client.
