Looks like Gog has raised the prices for the old games so that even with the discounts they are much more expensive than before.

I tended to buy one or two games each month in the price range of 1-3 Euros. But there is almost nothing and nothing interesting anymore. The prices of game on my wishlist are also much higher than before...

Guess inflation hit gog..
But my income has not increased notably and thus, I will probably leave gog as with the focus on pricy games and the price hammer on older titles, it is not for me anymore...

If you're not willing to spend more than that, and that's your prerogative, you're not going to find much to buy on PC anywhere. We still have it MUCH better than back in the 80s and 90s, when one PC game cost $50-$90, which is the equivalent of $120-$200 in today's money.

GOG doesn't set prices. Only publishers can do that, and you rarely find that they set prices differently on different stores. So if you leave GOG over prices you won't normally find better deals elsewhere. (Speaking of regular prices only; different stores have different sales.)

seems totally fine to me?

Like how cheap you want these games?

Or even this: https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,3.5&releaseDateRange=1980,2000

1) €1,- to €3,- is a pretty low price point - even for "old" games.
2) GOG can not know, and therefore not specifically satisfy, your interests.

There are 5733 games on GOG.
If you say (after 161 games) there's nothing interesting here anymore,...I'd say, that's a very specific view point of you.
And probably a view point that is not shared by many others.
And it's definitely not GOG's fault. Well, that depends a lot on which games you have on your wishlist, wouldn't you agree?
I have 16 games on my wishlist already, within your target price range...and my wishlist is not very big.

Edit: corrected number of games on my wishlist within the €1 - €3 price range. GOG's filter didn't work.

Oh! This might interest you

Of which GOG claims to have little to no control over.

looking! ^

I can tell you this much: in brick and mortar stores the dealers have a certain leeway between the suggested retail price (SRP) and their own purchase price (=the price they pay the producers for an item).

The difference between those two prices (the dealers' price is always lower than the SRP) is, where the dealers make their money.
And it's more or less up to them, how much money they want to make (within certain limits, of course. E.g.: market reality, etc)

So, if dealer A buys product X (SRP=€50,-) from producer 1 for €30,-
and dealer B buys the same product X from the same producer 1, for the same €30,-
then it's up to the individual dealers, how much they ask from their customers.

Basically anything between €30,01 and €50,- will earn them money.
The lower they set the price, the less money THEY'll make, of course.
(the producer has its money already, at that time)

So, in theory, dealer A could ask for €45,- and dealer B could ask for €35,-
Both would make some money with those prices.
Only dealer B would offer the customers a bigger incentive to buy from him, instead from dealer A.

Also in theory, it's up to every dealer to go even lower with their end price...however, that will cost them money, of course.
(this gets done, anyway - since it helps dealers to reduce their loss, if a certain item is past its "shelf prime" and the dealers don't have a "take/buy-back-option" with the producer)

Now - so far, this was all brick and mortar stores...I'm not sure how it works in the world of online game shops.

However - I'm pretty sure, it isn't so different from the old, analogue ways.

The devs/publishers get a fix amount of money for every key the dealers sell.
But in contrast to the brick and mortar days, the producers (here: devs/publishers) don't receive their money upfront.

Apart from that, the same main rule applies: the lower the dealers set their price, the less money THEY will earn.
The devs/producers always earn the same.

Now - for sales, additional rules may apply.
E.g.: a cut of so-and-so many percent from the normal "key-price" that the dealers have to pay the devs/publishers, that they can forward to their customers.
But again: the lower the dealers set their prices, the less money THEY make.

I mostly use the forums, Unless it's physical i find i don't buy games anymore.

Like movies, few newer games really catch my attention.

Please read what I actually wrote. "you rarely find that they set prices differently on different stores" "you won't normally find better deals elsewhere". "Speaking of regular prices only; different stores have different sales."

And in any case it is 100% true that publishers set the prices, not GOG.

Doesn't work like that. Steam/GOG take 30% of whatever the price is, Epic takes 15% I think. The exception is giveaways, where the store says "hey we'll pay you $X to make your game free for a limited time, you in?"

I actually go to flea markets looking for random PC games to buy. I probably have a collection of physical PC games close to the size of my GOG collection.

Eventually, I rip my physical games to ISO and back them up on HD.

That's a good list of games right there. Did gog lock the door? Was the sex too good? Is your relationship "complicated"?

I'd suggest listing some genres you're interested in. Not a lot of recently released games (< 5 years) have depreciated to that price point, but there's still a few games in a pool of ~1560 games <= 3 EUR that could fit the bill.

Oblivion GOTY is 2 EURs for example.

EDIT: and some newer ones like these:

Mortal Shell
Whispers of a Machine
Townscraper
Iratus
Iron Danger
Moonlighter
Cat Quest 2
Lost Words
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair
Creature in the Well
