I don't think they are trying to beat valve. GoG has been like those airlines that fly where no major airlines want to fly. Filling a underserved but large market.

I have a hunch that the currently sole owner just wants to do this until retirement. GoG is financially stable so there's no pressure to increase revenue.

I see no simpler explanation why someone would buy out a subsidiary like that.

All in all, GoG thrives on people being sentimental and it's totally in character for the owner to be sentimental as well.
