Is it just me or does Ciris always sound slightly condescending? You know, the passive-aggressive kind who will always put a smiley face at the end just so they can say they were only speaking tongue-in-cheek.
...it's probably just in my head. ;)

Ciris: Starting today, more games will be priced appropriately for these territories. We've decided to adjust our pricing to the realities of the market, to avoid a sense that you have to pay more to get your games DRM-free or that GOG.com games are more expensive than other stores that operate in those regions.
Are there any plans to "adjust your pricing to the realities of the market" for other countries as well? There are many countries worldwide that are much poorer than Russia and the other states from the former USSR. It feels very unfair that those have to pay the highest price while some countries get such a big discount.

And please don't label this entry from the wishlist as "in progress" any longer. We can clearly see that regional pricing is here to stay.

And while you are here at the moment: Can we please get an update about the state of unbundling. It's been nearly three weeks of silence now.

Since you are apparently following the community's reaction in this thread, would you mind popping in to the unbundling thread and alleviate our concerns there as well?

Is there a list of games that are flat priced outside Russia/the CIS region?

They finally removed the in progress notice from the wishlist you mentioned. Finally a bit of honesty although it needed a lot of pushing to get it done.

Morddraig: I from Russia, and I against the regional prices because I am afraid that people will start reselling games from cheap regions. It will break economy of the site and will spoil it.
If GOG enter the regional prices sometime, they need to think over system of gifts in cheap regions. For example purchase for itself at the regional price, and purchase by a gift at the global price. It will keep stability, I consider.
Then regionally-screwed people will be buying globally-priced gifts for themselves. Which I don't begrudge them in the slightest, but rightsholders are going to clutch pearls.

Matruchus, you misunderstood my request. That is a list of games with the same price everywhere on the planet. What I am asking about is a list of games with the same price everywhere except Russia and the CIS countries.

Sure, unfortunately what you want, those games (region-priced in RU/CIS and flat-priced on the rest of the world), don't exist yet on gog.

Later edit: I stand corrected, It can be done from maGog :) sorry for my previous mistake but is good cause I learned something new today

I'm actually glad to be able to pay as much money for the games here as it was 1.5 years ago and not to suffer from buying games that became too overpriced with the economy changes.

I mean, it is really bad when in order to play never games with flat pricing I have to pay 3-4x more than I should have with less and less wages I get..

I'm pretty sure that MaGog can help you.

This list should be close. It includes all regionally priced games that have no region with a higher price than the US base price (but it also includes some games that are more expensive in the USA than in Europe).

I'm pretty sure there's a way to filter the results, so you get exactly what you are looking for (but I couldn't figure it out).

Thank you very much PeterAlf :)

Good for you. At least some countries are getting regional pricing adjusted to their economical realities. Im still waiting that gog adjusts their pricing for my country and other ex Yugoslav countries that are also in bad economical shape. Probably will have a long white beard before that happens :)
