My understanding is that GoG does some work to make sure that old games they sell will work on new PCs. I have at least one game that is bugged on Steam, but works fine from GoG.
When I bought Vampire the Masquerade from GoG it came pre-bundled with the primary community bugfix patch, I thought that was pretty neat. It didn't come baked in, so they still give you the base version of the game, but I pretty much just checked a box on install and it added it on.
That said, Steam could arguably be a better solution for that sentiment, now that it has such good Linux compatibility. I doubt I’ll be able to run Windows 11111 on my computer in 2080, but I can always choose a Linux install.
