No pity for a gringo Yankee. :(

Sorry, you brought it on yourself with your muchachos and all. ;-P

I'm an American, I know what it's like to be friendless on the world stage.

Back to the topic at hand - does any have a list of all the currency codes that GOG uses? These are the codes like US_USD, GB_GBP, RU_EUR, etc. I have written a quick-and-dirty Perl script to pull the prices from a game page in each currency, and need the full list to get all the prices.

Depends. Used currencies are USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, RUB. Their native countries are US_USD, FR_EUR (or any European country...), GB_GBP, AU_AUD and RU_RUB. USD is used by every country at least.
Changing the currency into something that's usually not supported in that given country by GOG will end up with GOG's flat currency conversion from the dollar price of that country into the currency you entered. That works for every currency. RU_EUR will show you a non-supported Euro price (can't pay with that; it will revert to RUB or USD; it's good for a rough price comparison).

Okay, here's what my script returns for Pharaoh & Cleopatra (not regional):

pharaoh_cleopatra
US_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
GB_GBP -> GAME PRICE : ▒5.99
FR_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €7.49
DE_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €7.49
AU_AUD -> GAME PRICE : A$10.89
RU_RUB -> GAME PRICE : ₽359

And for Divinity: Original Sin (regional):

divinity_original_sin
US_USD -> GAME PRICE : $39.99
GB_GBP -> GAME PRICE : ▒29.99
FR_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €39.99
DE_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €39.99
AU_AUD -> GAME PRICE : A$43.49
RU_RUB -> GAME PRICE : ₽599

(The missing currency symbols are due to commandline's current font. The actual symbol is retrieved.)

If there are any other currency sets that would be useful to add, let me know. The script still needs work, such as handling sale prices. But it's useful for a quick glance at the various prices on a given title.

I'm really sorry, didn't mean to offend you in any way.

You didn't. I'm pretty unhappy with my nation for a number of reasons, actually. Net neutrality being just the latest way in which we are making enemies far and wide.

I do not understand this symbol, which I've seen you use before. It evokes blades of grass to me. :)

Wasteland is 44.99 down here in Mexico.

FYI, I take gringo Paypal. ;)

Wasteland 2 looks to be region-locked on Steam, will be interesting to see if similar steps are taken on GOG to stop cross-region trading/selling of codes... and if so, seeing what mental gymnastics are involved in reconciling that with "DRM-free".

May have to take you up on it, unless a Comrade Cheapski shows up from Russia. ;)

For the sake of comparison you could also change the currency to USD for every region so we don't have to convert it. :)

I'd have to pipe my script through a currency conversion site as well. Need to get the basic functions working first. :)

But yes, a good idea down the line. Assuming someone else doesn't preempt me entirely with a whole gogprices.com site.

No I mean DE_USD and RU_USD and stuff since GOG offers the games in USD anyway.

Figured as much. I wrote this script mostly for the fun of programming it, though it's also handy for me to confirm new regional additions with as well.

If anyone wants the script I'd be happy to attach it. You'd need a Perl installation of course, and may need to CPAN a module or two before it works for you.


Ah, I get you now. See if I did it right:

pharaoh_cleopatra
US_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
GB_GBP -> GAME PRICE : £5.99
GB_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
FR_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €7.49
FR_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
DE_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €7.49
DE_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
PL_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €7.49
PL_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
AU_AUD -> GAME PRICE : A$10.89
AU_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99
RU_RUB -> GAME PRICE : ₽359
RU_USD -> GAME PRICE : $9.99

divinity_original_sin
US_USD -> GAME PRICE : $39.99
GB_GBP -> GAME PRICE : £29.99
GB_USD -> GAME PRICE : $47.99
FR_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €39.99
FR_USD -> GAME PRICE : $52.69
DE_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €39.99
DE_USD -> GAME PRICE : $52.69
PL_EUR -> GAME PRICE : €36.99
PL_USD -> GAME PRICE : $48.69
AU_AUD -> GAME PRICE : A$43.49
AU_USD -> GAME PRICE : $39.99
RU_RUB -> GAME PRICE : ₽599
RU_USD -> GAME PRICE : $16.49

Also, is EUR the right code to get the price in Poland? Or is there a zloty code?
