Price driven down under.

Buckshot Software, developers of rad retro-styled FPS Project Warlock, and the game's publisher gaming company ltd, have decided to adjust the game’s current pricing in Australia and New Zealand. Players from those regions who purchased Project Warlock before that adjustment will receive refunds to their GOG Wallet.

They explain: "The game is priced at two major points: $12 and €11, which were converted into many local currencies based on what’s supposed to be standard conversion tables that reflect each local digital goods’ pricing habits. After the launch users who purchased the game in 27.00 AUD (the equivalent of 19.83 USD) mentioned that they were unfavorably marked up. It seems that on average, games in Australia and New Zealand are pricier than in the US and Europe, when exchanged at market rates.

A decision was made to amend that mistake and adjust the game’s price down to 17 AUD, effective from the 5th of December. In addition, with the help of GOG, we’re rolling out a plan to allow everyone who purchased Project Warlock in Australia or New Zealand on GOG.com with the higher price, to apply for a full refund in Wallet Funds until the end of the month.
Now, we’re not saying to those getting the refund “please buy the game again, at a lower price”. But we wouldn’t mind if they did :)"

So there you have it guys - if you're affected by this change, please reach out to Support before the end of the month.

kdgog: Something seems to be a bit broken with the pricing - I am in the UK and all games are in £, apart from this one game which is showing up for me as $6.17. Then if I add it to my cart it becomes $10. See image.
Please proceed to checkout and check if the price does not change.
If that doesn't work, I would suggest clearing your cache and cookie files (you could also try in incongito mode).

class act, hope more publishers do this and those who get full refunds reward them by buying it again

Really nice move devs, I love seeing when a developer doesn't want to screw over it's players, but instead make them happy. That's how it should be ;)

The part of me that wants to buy it to support Dev's doing the right thing is warring with the part of me which was upset with the initial price difference. Only time will tell which side won the mind war.

Don't you think people are allowed to correct their ways, like the developers did? It´s not like you have money problems anyway, you've got 1610 games in your account, most of how which you haven't even touched.

Most games I purchase are to support the Dev's, I'd be lucky to play more than 5 games a year for my own enjoyment. I don't care if it's Bethesda, Blizzard, or CDPR - if they travel down a path which doesn't run parallel to my ethics then I simply stop supporting them until their practices once again align with my own.

But to answer your question: I do believe in change, most recently Egosoft. I purchased X4: Foundations CE at the full price of $115 because they came back onto my ethical radar. I've not purchased a game from them at full price since X3. If the release of X4 failed my expectations then I'd have stopped purchasing their games altogether.

Our voices mean little, most reviews are tainted by prejudice, only our purchasing power carries its weight in gold.

Fair enough, I can totally respect that.
