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.

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?
