Fat chance.

I do realize that it would even be better not to buy at all to send them a clear message. Call it a compromise. Like I said - I still like their games so it would "hurt" me as well not to buy a game I am inteersted in at all but at least I won't give them much money for it.

No, of course not. But since Germans usually have to pay more because of regional pricing (along with other so called "rich" countrys) I hoped they should know better.
I don't even know if you think your reply is funny or smart. I asked you a normal and logical question. If this is your reply I guess you are not willing or able to argue at all. So I don't see a reason talking with you at all. Hope you are feeling better now.

No, the problem is that you just wanted to bitch around.

Historically, a little over 20€ as a day one price is stellar and almost unprecedented for an adventure game of this budget to be sold in Germany and to German customers. For Daedalic to go even lower, these guys would have to collaborate with the fucking Bild-Zeitung again like they did for Deponia 4 and no one in his right mind would even want that. 20 bucks, fuck me running, I've happily paid more for Thimbleweed Park, Firewatch, Dreamfall Chapters and a whole bucketload of other games from non-German developers. When I bought all those Seasons from the Telltale Store and a whole lot of stuff from Humble when DRM free, I usually ended up with way more than 20€ per Season/game, just like everybody else internationally.

Why you as a German are paying more for games from Germany? Funny you should ask. You may be interested to know that at this very time Daedalic is debating whether sinking tens of thousands into German voiceover is strictly speaking still financially feasible for a developer who makes most of his dough abroad anyway. So if they just dispensed with the German voices in future games and then sold their games in Germany for the pittance less that the $ to € conversion yields, hey, I'd be OK with that too! But I guess we'd hear quite a bit of bitching from you over that switch too.

I think I've demonstrated more than a casual inclination to drag Daedalic over the coals when they've done reprehensible shit, but at some point, the nitpicking starts and this really is it. The reimbursement for international pricing that GOG still gives its customers, year after year, is just awesome. It's neither "normal" nor "logical" to make GOG's game service of all things the one where you'd like to vent your frustration, proclaim and in turn elicit boycott. It's in fact misplaced and heinous.

Go to Valve's forum with that shit, thank you.

I was simply stating my own opinion. If you call that "bitching around" that is completely up to you. Feel free to disagree with my opinion if you like but please don't accuse me of things I simply did not do.

Read again what I said. I said imo(!) too expensive. I never said something like "oh, how could Daedalic ask for such a high price - that's unresponsible". I simply said "the game is too expensive for me". That was a purely subjective statement and nothing you say or argue will change this. I am simply not willing to pay over 20 Euros for such kind of a game.

And that is not only completely fine it is completely up to you. I have not paid more than 20 dollars for either Firewatch nor Thimbleweed Park.

I really don't even know why I replying to you - you keep accusing me of "bitching" and that's just silly. But why exactly is it "bitching" if you say that there's something you don't like? Or is it just fun accusing me?

Again it is completely up to each person when "nitpicking" starts and ends. But I am so glad that you know everything better than me.

Oh boy - I really don't know what post YOU have read I doubt it was mine. Please tell me ONE single thing I critizised in GOGs behaviour in this thread. GOG is compensating what Daedalic ond other people are doing to us becase they don't like regional pricing either.

But really. Simply the way you are "arguing" and the amount of swear words you are using is telling me that you are just not the kind of person I even want to talk to. So I consider this discussion done - have fun trolling someone else.

You can switch your post back to this version for all I care. You'll raise the very same issue again, in the very same way, in another thread, for another game from German devs, mere seconds from now should the opportunity arise. My assessment of your communicative goal, I believe, is accurate. And the entire rest of the forum will roll their eyes yet again thinking "Oh, it's German problems again".

So you do understand that constant/repetive complaints and outrage over regional pricing together with insipid proclamations of boycott are wildly counterproductive on this particular vending platform?

And do you understand who "us" really is, because you're framing this as a "German problem" when e. g. England, Norway and a whole lot of other European countries* are paying the very same acceptable [provided it's a quality game] price? Even Greece is paying up those 30€, and I'm pretty sure it's not an acceptable price there.

*could only confirm UK, Greece and Norway as of right now

This is looks to be my state of mind. I look forward to to it, sound really good so far.

It's Windows only, GOG bug.

Sorry, but I'm about to barf this link all over the most recent news posts because I think this topic deserves more visibility. Given my experiences with GOG during the past year users will be informed after the fact and in a footnote. So go get yourself informed:

Introducing new privacy settings (official "announcement")

You might also want to check your new privacy settings for the upcoming update. Because several users (including myself) had been set to default values that weren't intended - even by GOG.

Too bad... I had it on my wishlist because it's an interesting game and it looked to have linux support... I'll remove it. :(

Yeah, 'Reality Cuts Me Like a Knife' is a great song. :)

It sure is! :D

How come the page for it now lacks Mac and Linux icons ? Steam still has them.

I don't know for certain, but there's a possibility that Daedalic couldn't promise a DRM-free Linux/Mac version at launch and so it had to be removed in light of them offering a pre-order.
Or they simply forgot to update their Steam page. ;)

Hopefully it's something about the DRM free part because i'd rather a DRM copy than no Linux version at all. Still makes no sense as to what would be keeping them from releasing a DRM free copy of the Linux and Mac versions. I guess we will see come August.

For the curious, not those Koch heads. And also bought out by Bastei.

On topic, the setting seems to be "modern day but worse" and anything like that is always really good or really bad so will wait for the reviews on this one.
