This is of course assuming they wouldn't have had those extra 20% of sales if they went without.

Someone should try a comparison to release on one platform with the DRM and also on GOG with a discount for the amount the DRM would have otherwise added to the price and see which sells better.

I normally play games on quite a lag. I don't have much free time, and there are lots of good games. I basically never buy games that aren't 75% off or more.

But when I saw Baldur's Gate 3 was on GOG, I bought it straight away, as it had great reviews, it's full price seemed very reasonable, and if AAA publishers are putting recent games on GOG I want to support that.

Defiantly, GOG is the first choice here old or new even if it's cheaper elsewhere just to support that model.

You'd need to account for size differences too.

Like Steam vs GOG would have steam winning hands down

Yeah, that's the tough part. I would say base it on those who use both platforms but I suspect those who use multiple platforms tend to use a primary first and others if they can't find it. Maybe a survey when you buy it asking why you chose this format could help?
