GOG is absolutely tiny. It was sold by CD Projekt to one of the store's founders for a mere $25 million last year:

I know several family-owned businesses in my small town (that nobody outside of very specialized industries has ever heard of), which are worth significantly more each.

Profits were just $1.2 million in 2022:

Again, absolute peanuts compared to other online storefronts.

While the site does provide a highly valuable service, it's far too small, too little known and has been so for such a long time that I doubt it can grow significantly in the foreseeable future.
