I did notice there is a coupon for owners of the previous game here, so at least there is a GOG loyalty discount of sorts. But there is no separate upgrade path apart from that, like with games such as Gods Will Be Watching.

Actually its not a gog loyalty discount I read about the discount on steam before and the developers were trying to get the loyalty discount over to gog since they had it on steam already - it seems they suceceded.

I just noticed something...

GOG has marked this as "in progress"? Unless they are actually planning a U-turn, it's pretty disingenuous to mark this as "in progress".
The fair price package thing, no matter how noble, is not the same thing as banning all regional pricing from GOG. It's not even close.

As an immediate fix I can include a total count as part of the post. Though I'm still unsure how I count items which are games + DLC.

Sounds more like a "We're trying our best" statement relating to the "Stick to your principles" demand. But yeah, not quite what the wish was about.

Regarding the part I highlighted - it's pretty simple: does the DLC require a separate purchase? If yes, it gets counted separately, at least that's how I'd do it. Alternatively list everything separately, so each entry represents a single title. :-)

high rated

So, in less than a month, we went from 5 items to 39. That really doesn't look encouraging for the future and GOG's statement that they will always strive to get flat prices, or that it's about getting AAa-ish titles on Day-1.
The only titles released with flat pricing in a consistent manner are the oldies/ classics - hmm, it'd appear that GOG once again became Good Old Games for another portion of their customer base.
EDIT: typo and addition.
