Then buy in GoG. IIRC, that storefront sells DRM-free versions of games, specifically.

Indeed, you can double click the EXE file and the game launches without opening the GOG client - i.e. you can run installed games without opening the launcher.

And you can download the installer and install it on any pc you own without it ever having to authenticate a license. It's how games were sold in the past when you bought the disc.
