No, wait, they do care! I only looked at the exchange rates for 5.99 USD, but the Russian prices have become cheap for $9.99 and $14.99 games.

Besides supporting Chinese Yuan (CNY) as currency, GOG meanwhile also supports two additional (Chinese) payment methods: UNIONPAY and TENPAY. (Don't know where else to post this, just in case somebody keeps track of website updates)

Interesting. What prices do you see for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap?

Fallout 3: 136 CNY
Fallout: New Vegas: 136 CNY
Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap: 136 CNY
They are all 136 CNY. When I switch to USD, it's 19.99 USD.
So unlike Steam no Russian-style pricing for Chinese customers (yet) :-P

The exchange rates have been updated again, or at least the USD-EUR rate has changed since earlier today. I'm expecting fables22's full report. :)

i think you missed adapting the dollar prices for CIS countries other than Russia for games where they have a different price than Russia.
for example Age of Wonders 3:
RU price got changed: $8.79 => $8.39
rest-CIS price unchanged: $6.49
This seem to affect all similar cases (well, at least all that I checked, I didn't go through all of them ;) )
same problem with New Zealand(NZ) where its price doesn't match the Australian price
example: Sine Mora EX, Spellforce 3
of course there might be other reasons for this, and I only checked muntdefems report from Monday, so maybe it already got fixed, but I thought it might be worth pointing out ;)
maybe you can look into that, or pass the info to someone who can.
(I know I could open a support ticket, but i'm feeling particularly lazy today :o )

GOG, the USD has been steadily devaluating with respect to almost all your other supported currencies since last October. I've checked the current exchange rates, and in average, the USD is 3.5%-4.0% cheaper than what your exchange rates reflect.
Could you please adapt your official exchange rates to the 'economic realities'? And, if possible, without increasing the regional pricing hikes to compensate for that?
Thanks. :)
PS: According to Google, this is what we should be paying right now (sorry, Brazilian fellows! :P):
5.99 USD = 4.81 EUR = 4.23 GBP = 7.54 AUD = 338 RUB = 20.03 PLN = 47.3 SEK = 46.1 NOK = 35.8 DKK = 5.58 CHF = 7.41 CAD = 19.22 BRL = 38 CNY
9.99 USD = 8.03 EUR = 7.06 GBP = 12.57 AUD = 564 RUB = 33.41 PLN = 78.8 SEK = 76.9 NOK = 59.8 DKK = 9.31 CHF = 12.36 CAD = 32.05 BRL = 63 CNY
14.99 USD = 12.05 EUR = 10.59 GBP = 18.86 AUD = 846 RUB = 50.13 PLN = 118.3 SEK = 115.4 NOK = 89.7 DKK = 13.97 CHF = 18.55 CAD = 48.09 BRL = 94 CNY
