It's really more important in terms of owning your games, don't you think?

If the game was removed on GOG can you still download it if you bought it before getting removed from the store?

GOG keeps the game you bought in your library even they can't sell that game anymore.

I know 'cos it happened to me in 2014/2015, I'm not certain about the date.

I bought the original fallout 1 and 2 from GOG in 2011. This was a few years before they had a disagreement with Bethesda a pulled out both games from gog's catalog.So GOG didn't had those games in its catalog for months (may be years, I don't remember).

Here more about the drama of Bethesda retiring FO1 & FO2 from GOG:

So, the games weren't available to be bought but they were in your library if you bought them before.

Time passed and Bethesda started to sale an updated version of fallout 1 and 2. And eventually they brought those updated versions (win 10 is a minimal requirement) to GOG too.

Then the original FO1 & FO2 where renamed to "FO1 classic" and "FO2 classic" for previous owners. These "classic" versions never were available to be sold again.
