The games apparently are in the catalogue now, so have been added to the list. If we see this trend of "Russian discount" pricing continue, I make break those out into a separate list. They are less reprehensible cases of regional pricing, since everyone else pays basically the same rate.

IAmSinistar: Well, this is a first - the games don't appear as choices in the GOGmix dropdown. Maybe a glitch, perhaps they'll be added later.
This should be fixed now :) I just checked in the GOG Mix drop down menu and all three versions of KB: WOTN appear :)

It is indeed. They've been added to the mix, as per my previous post. Thanks for the update. :)

Here, to help you out, is the MaGog search for games with only Russian regional pricing:

Not a very long list.

Hmm, expected it to be bigger. Probably because there was at least one other release which originally fell into that category, before being fully repriced.

Guess we'll see if this trend continues, or if these continue to be minimal cases.

Would it be too much to ask to mark those in some fashion in the OP?

Also, some of them appear to not be regionally priced in the EU, like Hatoful Boyfriend, only because of the current exchange rate.

Yes, the Mount & Blade games.

Good idea, I've done both. Do you know of any others like Hatoful Boyfriend where the price differential is largely due to the exchange rate differences?

Not at the top of my head, I'd have to check them and get back to you.


@mrkgnao

Why is Hatoful Boyfriend not in that list on MaGog? I doubt that the Russians pay the same price as everyone else.

Hatoful is regionally priced not only in Russia, but also in Brazil (i.e. South & Central America) and in the UK.

I'm not sure your OP comment about Hatoful is correct. It costs 10% more in GB and 10% less in BR, and I don't think this has anything to do with exchange rates.

Also, your OP comment about the "Russian discount" states it applies only to Russia, which is inaccurate, I believe. The discount is likely applied to many other ex-Soviet countries.

Alrighty then, taking the comments back out. Too much of a mess.

Actually your comment was correct since in Russian mindest those countries belong to Russia eitherway :)

Well, I live in former GDR-territory, so I'll get Russian prices too? ;)
This area is still at least as poor as back then.
