I can still see their text color (warning: white color scheme in image). Are you using Barefoot Essentials or Adalia Fundamentals?

Thanks for the warning - that text colour on that background colour... my poor, poor eyes!

I'm using both scripts. Interesting. And a relieving side-effect.

Cheers.

Still, congratulations from me too.

Now I feel like an arse as I don't think I congratulated you when you hit Y2K.

I never did. I answered somebody's question and got catapulted from around 1960 to around 2010 in one move.

Ha, so instead of the Y2K bug you were hit by the +50 one.
Very nice, can't think of anyone more deserving to have suffered from this bug. Congrats!

Let me +1 you and you can start looking for one of those big black monoliths. :)

You wouldn't by any chance be implying that I'm a prehistoric ape, would you? ↁ_ↁ

On a (more) serious note - what an amazing scene, that mixture of awe and fear... Great film, should watch it again sometime soon.

No, we already have one of those here on the forum, and one is sufficient. ;)

When you buy gifts in regions with a lower price, you'll always have to pay the US base price now.

Smart, people on Steam have been asking for that for a while now.

So if someone in Russia buys a gift game for someone in England, they pay the United States price? I guess that makes sense, though it exposed the lie that regional pricing is fair pricing. Because if I buy something in a store, I pay the same price for it regardless of what I intend to do with it. But here the same person is charged different rates for the exact same thing.

Yes, I know WHY they do it. But it does punch another hole in their already flimsy justifications in the first place.

For a short moment I thought it is a partly return to the "one world, one price" principle, but you still have to pay the higher price when you live in a more expensive region (and get the fair price package in return).

Yes, it's only "fair" when it works in the seller's interest. Just one of the many benefits brought to us by the global marketplace.

Not just in Russia or the other ex-Soviet countries that get the extremely reduced prices - currently, a total of 13 games in my region are cheaper than the nominal US price (price difference ranging from a few cents to a couple of dollars max, and subject to change when currency conversation rates are adjusted), and when I tick the gift-box at check-out they all revert to the US price with the following message: Well done everyone involved! And congrats to GOG for silently implementing another negative change with absolutely zero communication and transparency, very much appreciated, as always. /S



What global marketplace?
