I would really apreciated if they contact GOG and start selling there, as their games doesnt have DMR, I dont find any reason of why they couldnt sell their games there.

Most Matrix games end up eventually at GOG.

But it is yet another interface for the developer to create and maintain, so I expect this to take some time.
With more delivery platforms, every patch requires work for each platform, and Vic being a one man army....

And GOG also takes it's cut, like Steam, and it is understandable that they first want to collect the premium full price from the core gamers, before roaming the wider markets with 30% lower income per sale.

All games bought here have is an input of the game serial number upon installation and that's it. I guess technically a DRM.

If it had an DRM, it would ask you to log in with your Matrix/Slitherine credentials in order to play the game, since it doesnt, it virtually doesnt have DRM*, which stands for always-online Digital Rights Management.
