That puzzled me too. I'm not really sure what is going on, most times I wonder if GOG does too.

That last bit is rhetoric, right?

It was a joke really - I was specifically thinking about the non-uniform UK price changes from this thread that don't always make sense :)

Well i had layers of fear on steam so I only paid $23.99 instead of the full $29.99. Observer is a masterpiece, buy it!

little in this thread makes sense. that's why it is so entertaining :p

my wallet says no. Besides, I'd rather wait if the Linux version will actually show up before buying anything.

In regards to We Happy Few's price hike that was just applied worldwide, that happened because Gearbox is now publishing the game. It's also getting a season pass.

In short, fuck Randy Pitchford.

I know, and got it, was just messing a bit with you.


You mean to say that there are times they make sense (to you)?

It seems Book 2 isn't right around the corner. There's still no real release date, developer and publisher only announced that it will come out in 2018:

Price dropped, regional pricing increased; lovely.


Surely a glitch or plain mistake, right?

hmm, why do you think that ?

Because their usual discount is -17%, which they got for Doom 3: BFG Edition. Though taking a closer look at all the regional discounts, Bethesda is overall quite a bit less generous in the case of Quake 4, with CH and GB even being overcharged, and UA, regUZ and RU paying exactly the same as for Doom 3: BFG Edition, though the base price of the former is lower than that of the latter. Wonder if the German market being out plays a role.
