Klumpen0815: Why has GoG become more expensive?
The games in the weekend promo were available for half the price here in past promos and even some prices in the insomnia sale are high compared to the past ones (only talking about the $ price here, no conversion).
I've gotten Inquisitor, Nox and some others here for example for less than they did cost in the insomnia sale, if I'm not completely mistaken.
I 'm fairly certain it has to do with the current €/$ conversion. Some 6 months ago, the rate was @ 1.3-1.4 $ per €. Now that it has dropped to 1.1, the prices have risen for the EU side.

e.g. A game that is priced @ 1.19$ like Bad Mojo Redux, is priced @ 1.09€ due to the new rate. Some months ago, that would be in the 0.89-0.99€ range.

Tarnicus: I've got hundreds of dried 4-leaf clovers that I find very easily but not the same luck with critically hitting lol. I managed to snag my 2nd one earlier, and both I have gotten are games that I already had.
zenwan: I've bought a lot of games, and clicked even on ones I didn't want, or owned already, but the crit fairy has obstinately refused to visit me. :-( qwerty_84

Has it for sure? I had a similar thought earlier, but then realised:
a) this isn't the Summer/Winter sale, it's one of the secondary sales so not all of the discounts are as deep as those major sales.
b) the € & £ vs $ isn't so good now, so everything appears more expensive in our currencies.
c) a lot of the games I'm interested in are really too new to GOG for deep discounts, this my list of ones that I will still chase for possible freebie:
-----SEASONED-----
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
Sam and Max Hit the Road
-----FRESH-----
Dreamfall Chapters Season Pass - Special Edition
Wasteland 2 Digital Classic Edition
Banished
Kentucky Route Zero Season Pass
Dead State
Door Kickers
They're all relatively expensive or not heavily discounted, so I won't be buying any of these this round, but will hope to revisit them Summer/Winter.
This sale, I feel like the games I have bought were pretty good deals, maybe Dragonfall was the least discounted but it is amongst those that are relatively new so I wouldn't expect it to be 75%-80% any time soon.

Tarnicus: If I hadn't surpassed my budget, which was going to far less than I have already spent, that is one title I would grab lol. I've still yet to complete the first one or even look at the second but the first game showed me enough to know that it is something that I would love. By the time I get round to it, it should be in the bargain bin :)
I had a dream that you happened to fall upon a code in your inbox :)
