Hi, first time posting here. I'm not sure if it's ok to mark this as "question/problem".
So I was browsing GOG.com today at work, looking at the pre-order for the Witcher 3, which offers 20% discount if I own Witcher 1 and 2, which I do, on Steam, and they even let me redeem a backup copy from GOG to get that reduced price of $47.99! With the same bonus offers as Steam and more, I mean, what a deal right?
But when I reached home and went to GOG.com, the currency displayed is Australian Dollar, which is way more expensive, and I live in Malaysia, I wasn't aware that Australia and Malaysia belong to the same region, coz I've been buying and playing Asian region games. I logged in to Steam and it shows $47.99 (turns out they have the same offer there).
I've heard that buying from GOG would directly support the developers, which is what I want to do, but if I have to pay more I'd rather buy from Steam, and they have trading cards there, which is always fun.
TL;DR: I live in Malaysia but GOG gives me Australian Dollar at home but US Dollar at work.
