Exactly, that's why it worked out so well for GOG.
If you want them to recoup the costs then buy the game instead of taking a pointless moral stance over supporting a monopoly.
What hurts GOG is its stance on DRM, since companies don't want games to be DRM free. It leads to late releases if it does come out leading to missing out on a lot of the purchases associated with hype. Leads to less games being sold at full price which happens most at launch with games having to rely on discounts older they get.
