Folks gave you the answer already, but given how different publishers clearly have different terms ad conditions for promotions with Valve, I further suggest you go here, choose a game, tadah. Obviously for new releases you will not have a long history of prices...

Nice, funny :)
For a serious reply, the thing with Humble and Steam prices is that I know I might be throwing away money and losing access to my "licenses" in the future, but the price is right... GOG might be more expensive (maybe?) which to me makes sense as I'm getting something more durable...
Anyway, since GOG also jumped on the sales bandwagon, their normal prices do seem to have gone up. Sure that could also be misperception from the ratio of newer vs classic releases... Actually it probably came from the currency flexibility improvements related to regionalization.
Anyway, I do ramble. My point being that like the OP, it's the fact games are not on GOG that allures about Steam. And the achievements, cos who doesn't have a bit of OCD in them... oh so preciousss...
One ring to rule them all, heh? ;)
