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.
