Wouldn't that "platform" need DRM to attract third-party developers too?

Yes, this is the issue GOG continuously ran into in order to maintain their DRM-free philosophy. DRM is a move made to please publishers, not comsumers.

GOG recently made an official statement that they're fine with DRM as long as it only affects multiplayer.

That was a sad day.

They haven't seen fit to change their homepage copy of "We are GOG.COM, the DRM-free home for a curated selection of games."
