Klumpen0815: I noticed, that after all this wave of bullshit-pricing grew to an unstoppable force on GoG, I started buying more not yet regionally priced games on GoG. You may already suspect my dilemma: Do I actually support regional pricing with this?
In a way, by supporting a shop that supports regional pricing. If you want to buy and can do so, do it straight from the dev as much as you can. And look for what's DRM free on Shiny Loot while those still have flat pricing.
JaqFrost: I've sort of come to the conclusion that the company is evolving into something I don't like, but I haven't really found any alternative where I can shop, so like you, I'm stuck in this weird limbo, enabling business practices I don't approve of because there's no one else to give my money to if I want DRM-free, client-free games.
Back to the high seas I guess, and keep demanding DRM-free region-free options from everyone you can, telling them that's the only way they'll get your money again. And I'm so saddened by it. Really thought there could be something worth supporting in this rotten business all these years. But with a regionally priced older game (as per their former definition, at least 3 years old) re-added now, they just crossed the last line I had drawn in the sand for any sort of support.
... That said, after lashing out like I did last night (and unliking the Fb page again), I actually made a purchase a few hours later. First since May. Definitely not for GOG's sake, nor exactly for the sake of the game, but first time I saw it 80% off unbundled and like the dev, so for that I guess.
Working on the wording of a call for a... somewhat nuanced, not necessarily full, boycott now, to post after the sale. All I can do I guess.
