I love GOG and the no DRM policy but a few things I would love to see added to the site:
1. Permanent sale bundle packs that are genre or game series specific. Steam has this for many titles and the sale could be very modest. This is where they often win on price in the US.
2. Open up to casual games. World of Goo belongs here as well as Defense Grid. They are of a different caliber but I think the better casual titles belong. Give them a year to prove themselves quality wise maybe.
3. More new Witcher 2 like titles and you will always get my dollar first. One thing I don't see myself doing is buying a game that I already own and still works on my OS version. Which leaves you with the good old games that I haven't gotten yet (or not supported anymore) market. That, I imagine, will only get harder with games being bought digitally, no scratched discs and bigger market for pushing updates for new OS's.
These and the sometimes insane sale on steam are the only reason I still buy from there. So to be fair now for what steam needs:
1. A no DRM option. Maybe let games go on sale with DRM and have it go away at a preset date.
2. Bundles not making me buy games I already own ON STEAM!! They also won't let you gift the extra game which would possibly be a fair compromise (they only do it for a few games).

Overall I feel GOG wins and I would just like to come here for everything. You got Vamp: Redemption living on my computer again so you can do no real wrong in my book by being the same. I would love to see any of these features show up.
