Grargar: I'm not sure if it was a bug. It seems to have been a 50% discount for everyone.

Grargar: There was a small discount change for Heroes of Annihilated Empires, from 80% to 75%.
It's possible that it's an error on GOG's side when shuffling the games in the Flash Deals. In the case of The Banner Saga it took the place of a game that was discounted by 50% in the previous round. Could also have been the case for Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and if you remember this did also happen in the Fall Sale (can't recall with which game though).

Heroes of Annihilated Empires was the game from the Fall Sale that replaced Deus Ex GOTY which had 75% off. Anyway, this whole discount mess is more than likely a bug, which also made an appearance on the Mount & Blade bundle as well, which was supposed to have a total discount of 75%, but both With Fire and Sword and Napoleonic Wars ended up having a discount of 1% less and costing each 10 cents more.

KainXVIII: Gog, why do you keep raising prices in rubles? Now its cheaper to buy in USD currency, eh..
Probably because the RU <-> Dollar exchange rate took a dive last week

Took me a few seconds to figure out why Grargar was conducting a dialogue with himself...

Today, we're once again forced to update the local prices in RUB as per exchange rate changes.
Here are the examples of the most popular prices, as they look after the update.

5,99$ = 519 RUB

9,99$ = 869 RUB

14,99$ = 1299 RUB

EUR, GBP, and AUD prices did not change.

We will communicate any future adjustments in the forum thread for this topic, so please follow it if you're interested in the future development for local prices.

G-Doc: 5,99$ = 519 RUB
O_O
Did you make a mistake in the conversion rate? 519 rubles is in no way that low yet. Certainly not according to xe.com.

^ Comrades, remember you can still pay in USD.

Perhaps they are thinking ahead :)

No wonder that Steam just implemented regional locking for Russia.

Naturalmente. It's only a global marketplace when companies can charge more, not less.
