Where to begin? The Forums. A place to draw people in, get them to participate -- and it looks and functions like something out of the Win95 era. Using GOG Galaxy to find the forums is hard enough (it lacks a button for it entirely, you have to go into a game window to go to the game's forum) and when you do, it actually takes you OUT of Gog Galaxy and back to the browser. Make your forums look and function like something modern -- you should not leave the GOG Galaxy gui to go the forums, that's insane. You're literally taking people AWAY from the platform you want people to use by doing that.
DRM. Controversy because you are supposed to be the DRM-free website. Focus not on abstract arguments of what is and isn't DRM-free. If it smells like there's DRM, don't do it. Focus on branding: BE the DRM-free website, not the place that has to argue about whether something has DRM or not.
I came to GoG as Good Old Games -- to get old games. That's almost entirely lost nowadays -- there's a ton of games out there from the past, waiting to be brought forward. Go after them and get them front and center. I could name dozens of old wargames that I'd love to see show up.
Plenty more ideas and things to fix or modernize. These are the simple ones. More later.
