wpegg: Could you elaborate please. I don't really have a frame of reference because I'm in pound sterling.
I don't know the exact details, but basically Europe decided to decrease the value of the euro against every other currency for exporting reasons.
The image attached shows how many € (well, cents) costs a $.
wpegg: Are you saying that GOG are not representing the exchange rate, and that Euro prices should be lower because a Euro buys more dollars than their prices suggest.
No, no. GOG is showing it correctly. I simply don't like that most games were cheaper two months ago. Can you imagine the day we ask for regional pricing because it would be cheaper? xD
wpegg: Alternatively, are you saying that the cost of living in the eurozone means that while the exchange rate is correct, the proportional cost to you for a game is greater than for that of an american or UK citizen?
Exactly. We are suddenly almost 30% poorer compared to some months ago, if we talk about buying things in dollars or other currencies.
