Just as a small tip for GOG, should consider adjusting their prices by geographic region.

STEAM games are cheaper than in GOG here in my country since making this adjustment.

I love GOG, but I buy STEAM, because the games come up to 50% cheaper.

Consider that there are countries hardest hit economically and can not pay the same as most fortunate nations.

It's either they don't want to lessen their income more (which is most likely outcome) or they don't have agreement.

On Steam my region (SEA) has much lower pricing than US region (base region). Yet here in GOG SEA is treated the same as US. xD

Normal pricing for 50 USD game is 335.000 or so (approx 25 USD) for my region on Steam. Just for comparison.

Steam is like Bernie Sanders and GOG is like Donald Trump. Trump says you're taking American jobs so you should pay American prices. But Bernie says we're all poor and someone else should buy it or you.

It's all just a matter of perspective. :D

They already do.
Specifically for Mexico, 157 games are regionally priced, with an average discount of -35.7% (compared to US).
Here is the list, if you want to browse it (just look for the Mexican flag for each game):

I did not know of that reduction, but in reality, given that wages in Latin America are in pesos and pay in dollars GOG, is not a significant adjustment.

For example, age of decadence is priced at $ 19.99 in gog, in steam 269 pesos ($ 14.59).

You are right. I didn't say that their prices were the same as steam, I just said that they have regional pricing in Mexico. But as you pointed out they indeed have no regional currency as yet for Mexico.

On the other hand some people enjoy things that GOG has and steam does not, such as the ability to play your games without the need for a client, but it might not be important to you.
