From MaGog's logs for 29 January:

Another change in exchange rates and another concomitant change in the USD prices of all the regionally-priced games.
As usual, all the nitty-gritty details are in the attached file, for those interested (change jpg to txt).

Here are the highlights:
1) Gods Will Be Watching: Special Edition [Premium] is now regional in more regions: GB,RU,UA, ***TO*** DE,GB,PL,RU,UA,CH,CZ,NO,SE,

2) Guacamelee! Gold Edition is now no longer more expensive than US in any region (IAmSinistar: to be added to the sister list)

3) King's Bounty: Dark Side is now regional again (IAmSinistar: back to the list):
standard edition in AU,BR,DE,GB,PL,RU,UA,CH,CZ,NO,RO,SE (might be related to the game's recent price change)
DLC and premium edition in AU,DE,GB,PL,RU,CH,CZ,NO,SE,

4) King's Bounty: Warriors of the North is now regional again (IAmSinistar: back to the list):
all three in AU,BR,DE,GB,PL,RU,UA,CH,CZ,NO,RO,SE, (might well be related to the game's recent price change)

5) Supreme League of Patriots: [Season Pass] is regional in AU,BR,DE,GB,PL,RU,CH,CZ,NO,SE,

Grargar: Addendum: Thanks to the Local Prices Update, the following games are no longer more expensive in Europe:

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Blackguards: Untold Legends
Blackguards 2
Gods Will Be Watching: Special Edition
Guacamelee! Gold Edition
Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
Tri: Of Friendship and Madness
With the exception of Guacamelee, your statement is correct ONLY if you do not consider the UK part of Europe.

It's more a question of if they consider themselves part of Europe.

For the purposes of regional pricing, I don't, as they have a different currency/pricing.

So did WotN essentially get an one-week discount entered into the system as a price change or is this once again an error with the standard price resetting to the old value, like it was left at it when the price originally dropped as well?
Ugh @ the return to regional pricing for DS though. Unless this is also a bug. One may hope...

And yeah, this is a real pain to keep track of...

So much for my optimism about GOG still caring about their earlier principal of flat pricing. Atleast PaterAlf won't have to worry about getting the games again anymore after asking for a refund on King's Bounty: Dark Side before.

The Regional Pricing issue on the listed King's Bounty games was a bug. It has been fixed and the prices should be updating for everyone ASAP :)

Sorry for the mix up guys :)

Thank you Judas, optimism for GOG continuing to make a stand for flat pricing has been restored. I hope we have more instances similar to King's Bounty for the other regionally prices games in the future as well. :)

So they ultimately will or won't be regional priced when it's sorted out? I be confused. :)

It's not supposed to be regional priced so, unless something changes, those games are permanently flat priced.


tl;dr bug happened. Games not regional ...again:P

But they do have the RU discount so there's that caveat.

Flat-priced for ROTW.

And no, I am not even getting into further details due to the fact we are talking about money ...
