Yup. GOG started doing regional pricing ever since the last February.

It used to be 'One World One Price', not anymore though. And yes, region will decide your currency/price for you now.

However, if you're in a region where the price is higher than the base (US) price then they'll give you store credit to make up the difference.

Same price for all customers was a long time ago unfortunately and now its almost across the board regional pricing based on the realities of the market. They have the Fair Price Package for now as you can see on the main store page but we don't know how long that is gonna last though.

There is videos on you tube called "The Regional Ripoff: Why Can't Gaming Be Fair?" by gog.com.

Which is no longer correct and I hope they remove it and not mislead customers any more.

Actually, removing it got them quite some backlash, to the point that they put it back.

Better to be honest and not hide that you had a different position in the past imo, regardless of how ironic the video is now.

FTFY

You can't win on the internet :lol: Anyway they should put disclaimer on there at least.

Anyway I used to prefer Gog.com over Steam and promote them among my friends even as far back as last week. Oh well!

Oh, you...
You want to play wordgames, JMich? Fine. GOG started doing regional pricing willingly (without any nudge from courts) during February 2014.

The regional pricing of The Witcher 2 wasn't mandated by courts. It was always priced differently for different regions, though the region wasn't identified by IP but by your account settings. That is also the reason they were giving bonus codes for $5.99 and/or $9.99 when pre-ordering, along with an extra game from a selection of 5.
The court order came at a later point.

Despite the steadily declining principles and lack of communication with customers, IMO GOG is still miles better then Steam based on their customer service and 30 day conditional money back guarantee alone though apart from all DRM Free ofcourse.

But I can see GOG moving towards becoming just another typical digital distribution store not much different then Humble for example if they continue with things like the anti-consumer regional restriction of sales and regional gift locking.

As far as I remember, it originally used a geolocation tool to track your IP, then GOG dropped it, and then they were forced by the courts to reinstate it. Not exactly the biggest vote of willing confidence, if you ask me. At any rate, by my post above, I was mostly referring to the idea of doing store-wide regional pricing, and not for merely one game (I also can't recall if the Russian price for Witcher 2 was lower than the US price or not, something which became the case with Age of Wonders 3, Divinity: Original Sin and Witcher 3).

Way to depress me! :P

Man I was having a good day.

Think I'll play a little Postal; cheer myself back up. :D

Hey whatever happens, the forum will always be the same and we can be sure of that as GOG doesn't have the resources to do anything about it. ;)

They could always shut it down...
