And I'm proud of it. Yes it's another forum sucking up to GOG but I really would rather pay more for that ownership and piece of mind. Almost ten times more it would seem.
I assume you mean Outcast and Academy. Jedi Knight is $1.79 currently on Steam (if you don't count Mysteries of the Sith, which is $0.89 and is included in the GOG version). By the way, the Bundle containing Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, Outcast and Academy is $5.99.

Still, the Star Wars Saber Bundle is $22.44, and that includes all these and 6 more games, so where does the "ten times more" come from?

Oh, and good for you for sticking to GOG.

If he buys Outcast and Academy on Steam, they will cost him $6. If he buys them here, they will cost him $16, so I guess that the 10 times is exaggerated.

If you got them as part of the bundle they appear to be $2.29, so that's $5 or so.... as long as you have or plan to get the rest of them with it...

Yeah not sure where the 10x is from either. Maybe Valve is taking a smaller cut to make it more enticing? (Unlikely)

Maybe, but Steam does allow you to only buy select games and retain the discount. GOG doesn't.

Well you can always find someone who's bought the bundle and ask for them to get you those specific games in exchange for trading or something... Once you own the games you get the full discount regardless how many or few you select...

I know how the bundles work. It's still more effort than just buying them yourself, though.

But GOG discounts the bundle if you already own games, which Steam doesn't.

Indeed, which is of no help if you don't have any of the games. :P
Both systems have their positives and negatives.

Basically, you're saying that GOG needs a price match policy with authorized resellers but you support them anyway even if they cost more just based on the ethics of DRM-Free? I support the price matching but definitely won't pay more than lowest prices. ^^

There are quite a few more reasons one would decide to support GOG over Steam, although DRM-free is of course a major one.

By the way, Academy was in the $1 tier of the Star Wars Humble Bundle (together with KOTOR and Dark Forces), so that's the cheapest price it had. (And currently it's possible to get it for $2.54 at GamesRepublic.)

I think it's more 'perceived quality' rather than ethics, here. A lot of people would prefer to pay a bit more for something of higher quality, whereas others (you included, it would seem) are only interested in price.

As they say, in the end paying less cost more.
Sure. With GoG you get a basic assurance the game has been tested, a refund on the rare occasion it doesn't work, and a DRM-free version. There’s a lot more to think about nowadays than the immediate price tag.
I realized that I have three different copies of KotOR 2 :) Retail disc, magazine disc, Steam and now GOG.
