I really hope theses native versions will come to GOG pretty soon. I'm sick of it...

I used to know a original modder of this game way back when. It's always exciting when old games get de-compiled or have new engines with new possibilities.

I'm a year younger and I just learned the same thing!

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing very much that interests me on this store yet, but of course that might well change in the future. I guess I'll keep an eye on it.

Another mystery of the world has just disappeared.

I never bought games on this store, but I might in the future because some DRM-Free games not available on GOG are only available there, so it's interesting.

No, that would be silly. Some of the decrease on GOG might be due to GOG specifically – I've read that they rejected the Hands of Necromancy Linux build.
We need the reason, otherwise it's useless.
In fact, part of the answer is here:

Factorio is about to increase in price so be quick

I understand their stance, but I think 30€ for it is already a high price for me, so 35€ even more.
I only regret I didn't buy it years ago, but that move won't make me buy it, sorry.
