GOG is awesome but limited - I can't think of any modern multiplayer game sold on GOG. Lot of great singleplayer ones though.

I assume Steam makes it easier to make multiplayer games then GOG?

Much more so - I think largely because of Steam's game server networking and update infrastructure.

Also anti-cheats (of any sort) and DRM-free games are kind of oil and water.
