Then download the individual game installers. I understand that there is some convenience to the GOG client but, if memory serves me correctly, you have to configure the client to keep the installers. If you do not keep the game installers, you are not much better off than you would be if you obtained the game through Steam. If anything were to happen to GOG you would eventually end up losing access to the game. Besides, the ability to run games without the client is a huge benefit in my books. You simply launch the game and immerse yourself in it. You have do not have to go through the marketing department (erm, store) in order to play the game.
