kai2: As I've posted before, I do think it be a good idea to give Steam gamers a discount on buying the games through GOG that they already own on Steam (not for free... discounted!). I think this would be a great way to invest Steam gamers in the growth and success of the GOG ecosystem... where I feel many don't invest in GOG now because they have hundreds of games on Steam so feel tied to that platform. But with digital game sales...
I don't know of any "price matching" purchases
IMHO best bet when buying games is make a list, check prices against something like Cheapshark, and set up sale notifications on same. Along with GOG's wishlist sale notifications, you should have a good idea of when a game reaches your desired price range. Also... and this is the tough one... exercise patience. Wait for sales when you can. I've waited years for certain games to go on sale.
I think all of us have had a time we missed a sale or paid more than we hoped. I've been there. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some.
Like I just said....don't wait too long or your game of choice might get delisted(rarely it happens, but still....). I don't know of any "price matching" purchases

Most times recently they have, though, and it is always welcomed.
