I think the people more pissed off about this whole thing are the ones who haven't downloaded their catalog off the site.
Ever since I realized Steam simply grants you a license to use the games and is not in any obligation of letting you re-download them once the service is out of business, I've made it a practice to immediately download/back up anything I buy on any digital media outlet.
I'm aware that with GOG you're supposed to own the game, not a license, but truth is they could go out of business or change policies just like that, and this, being a PR stunt and all (a distasteful one at that), just reassures me of that practice: buy and download right away.
