That's a somewhat strange affiliation for GOG, since I personally associate old games more with hardcore games, and certainly not casual games.
Not to say casual games are bad, just... very different from what I would expect the fans of GOG to be interested in.

"The Incredible Machine", currently available on GOG, would be considered a casual game nowadays.

GOG isn't focussed on so called hardcore games or casual. Just old classics and their fans.

True, it's just that the majority of GOG's catalogue consists of hardcore games because that are the kind of games that are best remembered over time and thus the most requested.
Again, I never said casual games are bad (I like quite a lot of them), I just don't see the direct connection to GOG, because considering casual games as their own genre is a pretty recent trend and thus self-declared "casual games" tend to be "new games" not "old games".

Because something is recently labeled does not mean their similarity has not existed a long time already.
TIM may not have been labeled as a "casual" game back when it was originally released, but it certainly fits as such, even if the definition is recent.
Also, I like Bejeweled, and play just about any game casually. I never play to compete,and usually not for sociality either (even if I enjoy most social events I may happen to take part in). Yes, Baldur's Gate, Max Payne, Myst, Heroes of Might and Magic, Beyond Good and Evil, MDK2, World of Warcraft... in none of them do I feel that "I must continue on forward" towards whatever end there may be, a higher level, or what have you, all of them are pretty casual.
