Add Canadian Currency completed
Added by
InaneKorruption Although, the exchange rates aren't as high as European exchange rates, they're still there. Also, Steam has also started using Canadian Currency, so I don't really see a problem in GOG doing so also.
Fibbius I second Silvershock- it's weird that the option is missing now.
Silvershock My glorious CAD pricing has gone away, I see only GBP, USD and EUR in the currency options. What happened?
Darkenmal Yeah, the prices are ridiculous. Lower them to be competitive please.
Firestone Was kinda excited for the sale till I realized that all Canadian base prices are considerably higher than on Steam.
Zenphic Success! Thanks GOG.com
mf_09 Nice to see the option now. :)
mf_09 The first comment about this was made in October 2014, and we still haven't got any comments from GOG.com. I am starting to think that this wish will go unnoticed. I am not a happy customer.
DeadPoolX The very weak Canadian dollar at the moment makes buying anything on GOG a losing proposition when Steam not only has games in Canadian currency, but generally uses a favorable exchange rate. GOG needs to follow Steam's example in this situation.
HansTheQuiet I was excited to see that No Man's Sky was on GOG, but without offering games in Canadian dollars, my but my business is going to Steam for this game. It doesn't make sense to pay ~$78 (as of today) for a game I can get for $66.49
melrhombus Pretty much ignoring this site while the CAD dollar is down... even sales are more expensive than regular price on Steam
johnnypatrick I agree. I will only buy the lower US priced games if a value. There are no shipping or tariffs. no reason not to price in Cdn. dollars
zippythezip I have stopped buying games on GOG due to dollar difference between us and USA.
mf_09 I live in Canada and I am new to this site, so this is disappointing. I find it hard to believe they can't provide pricing in CAD. I will not shop here unless i see CAD pricing. Thanks.
Zenphic I really hope to see more currencies offered at GOG.com!
pFWAh93 No way. I opened an account today. I'm a Steam customer and was strongly suggested to come see GOG. Fell in love with your philosophy instantly.
However, price is king. We work hard for our money and adding fair pricing with Canadian currency is logical. I, my account, would generate you revenue if you had this option available for Canadians.
Plenty of games to play on Steam in the meantime.
skeletonbow I too want CAD currency support and fair pricing for Canada. Previously I didn't have a problem with USD, however due to the widening difference in exchange rate between USD and CAD lately, and the GOG website showing US prices in Canada by incorrectly detecting Canadians as Americans, I now want CAD pricing so there is no question about it. Every other game store I deal with online now has CAD pricing, time for GOG to step up to the plate.
SanguineSleet I agree... GoG you need to add Canadian Currency to your store!
Goluffy At the time of writing this, the canadian dollar and australian dollar are equal, yet the australian dollar is the only one falling under the fair pricing policy. Please change that.
Hathur I haven't purchased a game from gog in close to a year (I have maybe 20+ games on gog) because of the exchange rate. Steam offers prices in Canadian dollars and 90% of the time it's lower than what Gog is offering since gog only offers in USD. I want to support Gog for DRM free but their prices are often much too high for me as a Canadian :(
Equisilus Absolutely needed. The unknown cost of a game due to the hidden exchange rate between USD and CAD makes it far less likely that I'll buy a game.
ikrananka I too would like to see this implemented but only if the option to pay in USD is also retained. I often have a USD balance in my PayPal account and use it at times like this when the CAD to USD exchange rate is unfavourable.
EvilAaron Yes this makes GOG pricing very discouraging to me at this time.
Darkenmal I have dozens of games on GOG, but I can no longer add to that number because of the massive price discrepancy between Steam and GOG. I love the goodies and the fact that the games are DRM-free, but not the fact that this comes at a premium. Please fix this GOG.
doanan2002 just about to purchase witcher 3 expansion pack and noticed it is not based on Canadian currency and the price went up to 26 dollar which is more expensive than what steam is offering. Please fix this issue asap if you want to hold canadian customers.
rylock99 It's very hard to stick with the DRM-free option when Steam offers the same games for half the price in CAD that GOG offers in USD. It's a massive price premium.
Zoocosm I agree, the exchange rate for USD to Canadian is not favourable. I will be taking a break from making GOG purchases until this is sorted out.
mokla12 I would love to get SOMA, but its $40 CAD after the exchange while being $32 on steam. I love this site, but the exchange rate doesn't make it worth it in my opinion. :(
digitalFatteh Almost went on to get Shadowrun Hong Kong on GoG for $20 US turns out after the exchange rate + fees it goes up to $27 CAD. Yet I can purchase the same product for CAD on steam for $22 CAD.
CelineSSauve I have yet to see a Canadian card (that doesn't only use USD funds) that doesn't charge the 2.5% fee. So, yes, I am in support.
RootFunction I would certainly welcome the option to pay in CAD. As of today (June 30, 2015), it's sitting at 0.80 USD which is roughly 15% lower from where it was a year ago. Also, most Canadian credit cards add a 2.5% fee to foreign currency transactions just to make it sting a little bit more.
headpool182 yes please!
low_poly_object The additon of a Canadian Currency option, as well as other currency options for other participating markets would be very appreciated.
mokla12 This would be quite nice to have indeed.
AirBreather Seconded. Much wanted! :)
Spinorial GOG have handled other currencies reasonably, so I'd trust them with CAD. Still, the ability to revert to USD should also remain, just in case ;)
