Grargar: Shadowgate isn't regionally-priced here, as opposed to the other shops and, on top of that, it's the only place where the game is sold DRM-Free.

stg83: That is really great and I hope GOG continues releasing games like that but with Spacecom I don't really understand why they would want to bring a multi-player focused game here without GOG Galaxy and on top of that regionally priced while the game is being sold at a flat price on the publisher's own website.

IAmSinistar: Nice. Regional pricing AND hypocrisy. Good thing I'm not that interested in the game to begin with, as it's pretty much sunk itself now for me.

Avogadro6: Why hypocrisy? Because they use different pricing in different stores?

Grargar: I guess to make it more attractive to buy at their store? The game is also regionally-priced on GamersGate, Humble Store and Steam, while also offering both a DRM-Free download and a Steam key.

stg83: Well how will those customers who buy from the stores like you mentioned and are mostly looking for Steam keys would be attracted by GOG without any client like GOG Galaxy. A client that would make multi-player games convenient like it is with Steam for them.

I guess its all just speculation on my part because only the people that purchase the GOG version would be able to tell how the multi-player works right now. Maybe it already has some GOG Galaxy see multi-player connection features like The Witcher Adventure Game Beta. :)

stg83: It makes one wonder why GOG didn't use that as a point to argue for flat pricing here as well. GOG have said that they are going to continue to strive for flat pricing with all games as a first priority but this recent edition of a regionally priced multi-player focused game doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence.

Grargar: [...]

Shadowgate isn't regionally-priced here, as opposed to the other shops and, on top of that, it's the only place where the game is sold DRM-Free.

Grargar: What I wanted to point out was that the game sold on the publisher's store offers flat-pricing, DRM-Free download and a Steam key on top of all that, while other stores are stuck with either regional pricing and/or Steam keys only.

stg83: I understand now my apologies, since I was talking about GOG I got caught up in that and thought you were referring to them instead of the publisher's website. :)

IAmSinistar: Because they require other vendors to use regional pricing while they don't use it themselves. Pretty solid example of "do what I say, not what I do", regardless of how they try to excuse it.

HypersomniacLive: I suppose I'm not the only one that's glad when they see this thread hasn't any new posts, right?

Cavalary: Definitely not...

Question, did the original release announcement state that the game was regionally priced? Because I think I glanced at it earlier and don't remember that, was actually checking whether the developer or publisher were involved with any others on the list of shame (updating now btw).

RWarehall: Yes it did.

Cavalary: Hm, selective blindness on my part then.
