Considering Temeria, alone, is about as big if not slightly larger than the entirety of Skyrim and there's no loading screen within the regions... I'd say it's big enough to be called "open world." White Orchard may be a fenced off starter area, but as I understand it once you're passed that, the rest of the world and kingdoms are available to explore freely. The occasional loading at at-or-near Skyrim-sized kingdom borders I can live with.

I would have no idea as I haven't played the game yet. Even with this supposed "downgrade" my PC still can't run it. I guess that's a mistake on the editor's part.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I don't mind it either. Somehow, as I got older, my stomach seem to be less tolerant of citrus-type of fruits like oranges, lemon and pineapple. Not sure why. Though mangoes I have to say, smell really nice as a body lotion. ^_^

Wow! That is incredibly expensive. o____o I wonder why it's so much more expensive in Australia through GOG?

In that case, as much as I love GOG, it would be nice if they are more transparent about why things cost the way they do.

I really don't understand what's so hard in clicking a link to download a file inside of any browser.
start browser, gog-login, gog-account, click game then click on files to download them. Run .exe
I've been doing this for ages (seems like) and I didn't even downloaded and installed galaxy, yet. I'm pretty sure I'll give it a try, maybe next year or so when it'll be more polished/stable but for now I download my games from gog the old way. And it works.

Well, shoot. That does seem to be a bugger.

Are most regional-priced gamer people ok with GOG's refunding the difference in store credit? Obviously, that's not optimal, but it seems like a fair trade-off for more devs. That said, there's only a few games I have ever purchased here that were regionally priced.

When they stopped one fair price, I went crazy. I thought it was horrible. But their response, for me, seemed like a good middle-ground. But again, my prices are what sets the standard, so being the "privileged elite" hardly makes my opinion matter.
For most of my GOG days, I could not DL from the web. It almost never worked. I would either get checksum errors or the file would just stop downloading.

I got a download helper utility and that didn't help me either.

I don't know what my problem was, but the downloader solved it.

That's quite unlikely considering that 1023 games are regionally priced on GOG.

I think Talima meant Not including (ex-)soviet discount. Putting that aside, does most of the world get the us prices?

He might well have meant it, but that does not make it less of a regional pricing in my book.

As for paying the US price, the only countries that pay the US price for ALL the games on GOG are:

United States (US), Cuba (CU), Iran, Islamic Republic of (IR), Korea, Democratic People's Republic of (KP), Myanmar (MM), Sudan (SD), Syrian Arab Republic (SY), Venezuela, Bolivarian Republic of (VE)

Yes. Only eight countries. And what a list it is...

Every other country has anywhere between 3 and 1,023 games that are priced differently from the US.

What a list indeed...

Well considering your "Most of the World (CN) CN" consists of 3 titles, and putting the (ex-soviet) both aside,
this still means Most of the World (CN) CN™ does get the US prices on more then 99.7% of the catalog, so while not exactly fair...

I fail to understand why I should put the ex-soviet block aside. I understand that you might not be troubled by it, but it does account for 90% of the regional pricing, and by far the most aggressive.

Using the same logic, I could claim that the chat system is perfect if we just put aside everything that you wrote here.

The Reason behind not including the ex-soviet is plain reason - nobody gets hurt by it (considering US prices are the base prices*), some benefit.
The Reason behind not including the 3 "special" titles is minimal impact on the overall pricing experience. But it's worth a note as there are no benefits (and I find it quite silly at the moment with a 1% price difference) - and things may change for the worse in that area the future.

The Chat? For now I see NO benefits (other then knowing online status but If I wanted that I might as well use Galaxy).

* While if Gog clearly said the ex-soviet are the new base prices and US are set accordingly it would differ entirely. For now, this is a discount, and it might change in the future, but while it is definitely Regional pricing, I don't see it any different then a long lasting promotion (Which is open to any party willing to participate by means similar to buying on nuuvem).
