Unfortunately the VR game selection in GOG seems pretty slim and they might still need steam VR to run anyways so either way i don't have much choice.

Okay steam, if its just a digital license and not ownership.. Then surely you'll be significantly lowering prices, Since you charge full ownership prices for games, not license prices.. Right?

What the hell happened to Steam's built in offline backup system, anyway? It used to have that when it was brand new.
It technically still exists in the game properties -> installed files tab, but it doesn't really work. The backup files you get require you to be online to meaningfully restore and will trigger a patch to the latest game version.
Practically speaking it's better to just make a copy of the game install directory manually, gives you a better chance of things working (even though most games require some kind of external tooling for that).

Sure, and if you don't uninstall Galaxy, go through some hidden menus and download the installers then your GOG games will be gone regardless.
That's a failure to download the installers to begin with, not them being taken away from you after the fact.
