A fair point. Which is why I'm not shifting games from one list to the other (or at least not wittingling doing so), as I believe the ones which are truly regional priced will revert to their old ways when currencies rally against the dollar again.

The dollar will crush those bleeding-heart, tree-hugging, lily-livered foreign currencies. Who needs other currencies, anyhow?! The dollar was good enough for our Lord; it is good enough for me.

Good news indeed. Do you know any DRM-free shops with flat pricing?

I began looking for an alternative, but I believe they all sell Steam keys nowadays. I can live with a Steam key as a "free" bonus, but not if a game is "sold" only as a Steam key.

The only fully DRM-Free stores that I know of, are DotEmu and FireFlower Games, but none of them has flat pricing.

Regional-pricing for a title from 1998?!? Seriously GOG? >:-|

EDIT: And before a blue jumps in asking: What should we have done, would it be better not bringing this game at all?
YES, don't fracking give in! Those publishers can sell their games elsewhere. C'mon a title from 1998 acquired from insolvency estate.

Oh yeah...

Apparently becoming an Airline Tycoon in the former Soviet block requires less capital than elsewhere.

Till now, I've thought that's only true for the UAE ;-)

Аэрофлот ftw!

More regional pricing: http://www.gog.com/game/starpoint_gemini_2_secrets_of_aethera

Checked it briefly:
RU 1.89$
DE 5.19$
US 4.99$

yay

I think that is a case of it doesn't matter how much it costs. ;-)



Oh dear, is that one still around?

A better question would be if how many flat pricing shops of any sort do you still know. I'm just at one, ShinyLoot, but that allows DRM for part of the catalog. Otherwise, what Grargar said, only other DRM-free ones I know of are also DotEmu and FFG, but DotEmu applies standard regional pricing on all titles and FFG adds 25% (saying it's VAT, actually Swedish VAT) to price for EU purchases.
I'm very strongly considering removing one distinction from the way I track... In part also because it's a pain to keep track, but was uncertain about it from the get go. So thinking of no longer caring whether a game regionally priced in (part of) EU (or NO, or CH) or AU is also more expensive or discount only and just caring that it is. So it'll be RU-only (including UZ, as it usually is), RU/UA/BR (usual suspects for discounts), or anything more than that. After all, it's a matter of the extent of regional pricing, not how it's used.

Hurrah indeed. The stars in the sky, it would appear, are not the same for everyone.

I don't get your gripe about FireFlower Games charging VAT to EU purchases, it is what they are obliged to do.
