      I don’t know if they pay per sale, or if they bought the right to sell the game with a one off lump sum as they have done in the past for at least some games.

      If it’s the latter, my buying the game on gog doesn’t send any more money to the original studio.

        Well, I certainly don’t know any details, but I’d imagine they mostly do that with older or more obscure games where it’s just not worth the time to make sure everyone gets their pennies sorted out properly. Probably not so much with modern game of the year winners.
