mechmouse: It doesn't seem to be on sale, yet is 5 quid cheaper.

From what I recall, it's regional pricing. More specifically, Steam uses regional pricing, while GOG uses the base US price for GUN (and a few other games).http://store.steampowered.com/app/2610/

It's actually quite a lot cheaper on GOG for me, despite Steam having recently added a better-than-exchange-rate pricing for South Africa.

For me GUN is €15 on Steam and €18 on GOG, so only €3 in difference.

mechmouse: Its not showing the usual regional money back. Mind you at this point $1 probably equals £1
Whereas Steam has regional pricing, which for some reason makes it cheaper (we usually get hit with the more expensive side of regional pricing so that's a bit odd)

blotunga: The "some" reason is Brexit and the weak GBP. 1 GBP was aboit 1.5 USD when the game was priced initially and now it's about 1.25. The steam price was never adjusted while the GOG price being based on USD went up probably.

It's not really flat priced here. There are discoiunts for Brazil (US $10.89), Ukraine and nine former Soviet republics (US $9.99) and (of course) Russia (US $8.39). But yes, there are no higher price points than the base price.

Anyway a low pound is great for Exports, just look at the FTSE 100 its doing the best its done in year. What does it matter that we're not an export based country.
Because when your an manufacture based country its easy to become export based. What does it matter that we're not been a manufacture based country for nearly 50 years, when you've got a service based economy.
Ermm forget all that
When you've got a service based, heavy import economy all you really need is favourable ties to other economies with a common legal and governmental basis to which to trade those services and leverage their combined size in order to gain favourable import tariffs for those outside said frame work.
Which is great... except 52% of the country voted to leave such a system because they didn't like the Prime Minister or house Prices or immigrants taking jobs they wouldn't have taken themselves.
YEh.... fucking Brexit.

52% of those who bothered to go to vote actually. So probably close to 27% of the country. Yay for extremism. Even Hitler was elected with more.

Anyway, what's done is done. Chin up and shoulder to the Wheel.
We won two world wars with out the EU
Admittedly the first one did wipe out a vast chunk of our population and we relied heavily on immigrants to help get our country back on its feet.
And the second one was all us.... except the for the Polish they did some rather dangerous missions... and the Americans and lots of other countries. Oh and again we lost another chunk of the remaining population and heavily relied on immigrants to get us back on our feet.
But, to coin the American phrase, we're super.
OldOldGamer: I think no one really understand modern economy.
And various crysis we undergo, different theories that are always proved wrong along a broken EU, that is getting worse, is proof of it.
That I fully agree with. And various crysis we undergo, different theories that are always proved wrong along a broken EU, that is getting worse, is proof of it.
Global economics is seriously complex.... lets start over. make Leaves currency.
