GOG is much younger. It will grow, don't worry.

GOG predates both Google Play Store and Amazon Play Store yet it's much smaller then either of them. And iTunes Store started offered apps at about the same time as GOG started offering them. So your argument does not fly.

I know you can come up with a better argument than that, GOG doesn't share a platform with either of those so it's not a fair comparison.

As raven667 pointed out, your comparison is not valid. GOG's area is PC gaming, not mobile applications. So it's valid to compare GOG with other PC gaming distributors.

Here is a more appropriate example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOG.com#Market_share
