Prepare for the horrors of the future, today.

Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, the masterfully crafted continuation to the 1988s original post-apocalyptic RPG, is available for 10% off for pre-orders for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, on GOG.com. That's $53.99 in US until September 19, when the game is expected to launch.

Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, is the direct sequel to 1988’s Wasteland, the first-ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG and the inspiration behind the Fallout series. Until Wasteland, no other CRPG had ever allowed players to control and command individual party members for tactical purposes or given them the chance to make moral choices that would directly affect the world around them. Wasteland was a pioneer in multi-path problem solving, dripping in choice and consequence and eschewing the typical one-key-per-lock puzzle solving methods of its peers, in favor of putting the power into players’ hands to advance based on their own particular play style.

On GOG.com Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition comes complete with a free copy of Wasteland - The Original Classic and inXile's cult fantasy RPG, The Bard's Tale (both bonus games will be delivered to you as gift-able codes). All that 10% off until September 19! Please note, that after the game launches, Wasteland 2 Digital Classic Edition (basically: what you'd call a "standard" edition) will also be offered, apart from the robust Deluxe edition you can pre-order now. An upgrade pack turning the standard edition into the Deluxe version will be available as well.

$53.99 is the basic discounted price for this title in the US. Other prices will apply in different countries. If you end up paying more than than the US price ( this applies to UK, European* & Australian** gamers), we will reimburse the difference from our own pocket, giving it back to you in store credit (this is what we call the "Fair Price Package").

*PRICE UPDATE: By publisher request, we have been asked to increase the Euro price to match that of other platforms. The base price of the Deluxe Edition has increased from 44.99 EUR to 54.99 EUR (49.59 EUR with the pre-order discount). As always, we have adjusted our Fair Price Package accordingly to ensure that anyone who pre-orders at the new price will be properly compensated, which in the case of Wasteland 2, will be 8.6 EUR in store credit.

** SECOND PRICE UPDATE: There has been a change in price for Russian rubles, British pounds, and Australian dollars:
- The price in Russian rubles has been decreased from 1049 RUB to 899 RUB
- The price in British pounds has been increased from 39.99 to 44.99 GBP and we have adjusted our Fair Price Package accordingly (from 2.3 GBP to 6.8 GBP in store credit)
-The price in Australian dollars has been increased from 65.29 AUD to 68.99 AUD and we have the Fair Price Package of 3.4 AUD in store credit.

I'm going to repeat myself again though I know you are aware of that already, Judas. ;)

"Will you refund the difference to users that pre-ordered it from there?" there = wherever it got cheaper

That's some price hike.

I was just some days ago looking that neat Wasteland is over ten euros cheaper on gog than on Steam. Now this.
It is pretty comical to change option to USD in the game page, who would have bought over 70 dollar game before..

So kickstarter actually means kicking customers so hard that their wallets drop from their beaten corpse when the game gets near release.

Meanwhile in Russia, the game costs 24$. I guess even GOG and the publishers fear Putin's tanks, they know they can't pull the same sht on Russians as on other the nations, lol.

Harrison11106: Simple, because it's the Digital Deluxe version. Look at what you get with it:
Wasteland 1
Bards Tale
Wasteland 2 OST (which would be a $20 value on its own)
4 Wasteland 2 novellas, each a $6 value at Smashswords.
The concept artbook.

That's actually quite a bit of stuff for $60, don't you think? If you're just getting the game, my guess is that it won't be more then $40 when it's out on the 19th.

turbosnake: Could be worth it, but I am only iinterested in the OST.
And the Ranger Editions contains also some imho more interesting stuff:
5 art cards
Full color Printed manual
Soundtrack CD
Printed map
Printed Poster
Code for Wasteland 1

So it is way cheaper to print a full colored Manaul, a Poster, a Map and 5 art cards, to produce the game DVD and a CD with the soundtrack, to ship this and to pay fees to the retailers and the publisher as to have digital extras?
That's a matter of perception, I ordered the physical version of the Deluxe edition back when the Wasteland 2 kickstarter began. I'm old fashioned in that sense, I WANT the physical copies of the game, book, map & so forth. It's a sense of nostalgia to me, since I'm old enough to remember when just about every PC game did such things. I don't know what printing prices are like where you're from, but if I were to go to a pro print shop & print just the manual I'm probably looking at $10 to $15 or so.

And this is why the digital prices are being forced to the same level as retail: they count on the fact that if both prices are equal, you'll opt for the retail copy. The retail channel doesn't want to lose sales to the digital side.

Do you always..uh..transport yourself to Russian territory when such pricing occurs? Does it really work? Do your payments go through and games able to get downloaded? Just curious, if you are willing to answer.

I'll be getting a code for this as part of the T:ToN tier I chose on Kickstarter, but since I don't have 4GB RAM in my laptop, it seems I won't be able to play it anyway. I wonder whether I should put the code up for trade instead, and if so, what the actual market rate would turn out to be. :-P

This is getting ridiculous and insulting - I'm getting from ashamed to disgusted.

inXile has surpassed even the greediest of companies in this industry, I guess some can't break free from their corporate nourished culture and leave it behind them when going the "indie" and crowdfunding route.

Nah, I was simply referring to things that happened on this forum when 'Good news!' news was posted - many of us put some Russian accesories on our avatars, changed our signatures etc. :) I was Giant Russian Cat in Soviet Russian Hat :)
No need to use such tricks, I'll just wait until they go down with the price. It'll happen sooner or later.

Ah, I see! Thanks. :D

Me too. Usually, I wait for a sale to buy any game I feel is too costly at launch price. Wasteland 2 looks incredibly exciting, but I'm worried that it will be a much smaller game than it looks. Divinity Original Sin seems surprisingly small when you look at the game maps from guides.

I want to finish the original Wasteland and play through Fallouts again before I start playing Wasteland 2 anyway... and by that time I guess I'll see some acceptable discount :)
Fallout 1 wasn't that big too, but it was damn great :)

The Great Soviet Migration. :)

At this point they may as well make the game free in Russia and turn the European price into "Buy one copy for yourself, and another for a Russian pirate" deal. Then Euro customers could take some comfort that their "real" price is just half of what they are paying, if only symbolically.

Your description made me remember this music from Crimson Tide movie.

Personally, I'm not bothered all that much by the price matter. What I do actually fear is the possibility of regional locks. After all, if Inxile can just order GOG to change Wasteland 2's price just like that, what's to stop another company from locking the catalog for specific countries? Every Square-Enix game on Steam is unavailable to Japanese IPs, so what's stopping them from doing it on GOG, too? GOG saying no? What if Square-Enix decides to follow Nordic's steps then?
