ElTerprise: You're not the only one thinking that way :)

But then the question is if we actually want their generally bland AAA games?

I'm doing good - bit tired now. How are you doing?
Bland AAA games? Sure, don't forget the poor optimisation DLC. :-)
It is more the principle behind it. We all get punished with regional pricing under the promise of AAA titles, instead we get a few more indie titles and lots of games, even old games, abusing regional pricing. It seems like just another way to screw over gamers. Unless you live in Russia of course, then you get rewarded for pirating games by getting them very cheap. :-)

Glad to hear it. I am doing quite terrible at the moment with my migraines and muscle/nerve stuff, but nothing to worry about. I think everything is just catching up to me what with all the extra problems and stress and things.
Dear Fred; I am fine today and I hope you are fine too.
Toto got a grooming today and Arnold Ziffle says hello.
Had waffles for breakfast and the day has been far out.
Have to go now and watch all the pretty colors that look like Sigourney Weaver.
Stay groovy.

Do I have to get Nurse Ratched to come and strap you to your bed until you snap out of it? o_O

Good evening, lovely Mr Endre!

Glad to hear you are doing fine today and seem to be enjoying those "special" brownies. :-)

Good grief. I really must be a Californian.

Oh, gotcha, so you guys are just nerdy and not high. It's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

How could i forget that ;)
Seems like it but then again GOG provides some kind of compensation with the store credit from their own pockets...we'll get some AAA games.....soon™
It's definitely a problem in Russia....it's similar with movies there too...selling the games cheap is probably the only way to make money. But surely is unfair compared to other Eastern Middle European or Eastern European countries with similar or even lower average income per capita...

Thank you....oh i'm sorry to hear that. I hope it'll get better in no time :)


Alright. I think i'm going to sleep now. Was great chatting with you - as always. I wish you and everyone else a good night *big good night hugs and waves*

What if someone is nerdy and high? That would explain some of the topics that come up on the forum. :-)

But how long before GOG stops the store credit?
And come now, you are a very smart mad scientist, you know as well as I do this is not about average income. It is about preferential treatment and rewarding a culture for stealing software and digital media. If Russia was smaller and had less of an impart on the market they would not be getting games for so cheap. That is why other less wealthy countries don't also get the lower price, why some who are the lowest income nations are charged the same as some of the richest. Was it ever about income averages, did it start like that and get corrupt, or has it always just been about screwing customers over in the name of capitalism?

Thank you. I am sure I will be fine.

Goodnight, ELT. Sleep well and pleasant dreams.

*goodnight hug*

Sure - that's what i tried to point out by mentioning the lower average income per capita in states with similar high piracy rates (i noticed the prices for games and movies in Ukraine during my field trip) which don't get that treatment. Neither here on GOG nor on Steam :)

Thank you. I'm really off now :)

Goodnight, again, ELT. Now get to sleep or there will be no Friday promo for you. :-)

Hi there, alas at one time I got high, now I just get nerdy. :-)
Sorry you're in pain, hope relief comes soon.

Nothing wrong with being a nerdy Viking. :-)

Thank you. I am sure it will be fine. I think a mix of being run down due to a number of things and me pushing myself at work a little is just causing a few problems. I will probably try to get some sleep soon and hope that some sleep will help with a few of the more annoying symptoms.

Oh, no you don't.

Sorry folks. Due to an, uh , unforeseen accident, we're out of waffles.
Don't worry though, we still have pancakes with powdered sugar.
