skeletonbow: If they do ever add CAD currency option, it will be interesting to see if the price offered is better than the rate offered via one's usual payment method. Hopefully they allow easy control over what is displayed on site and what you pay out in configurable on each transaction too.
DreamedArtist: price on gog goes 4.99 I purchase with visa card and look at my visa statement 3 days later and shows me I was charged 7.49 almost 8 dollars CAD This is why I need a canadian option on this site, Steam did it amazon did it many other sites do it why can't GOG do CAD option as it's one of the most easiest to implement on any site.
and the number 1 thing I see people say NO dont do it is cause game in us 49.99 here in canada 59.99
what they don't think is conversion rate on purchase the bank does is pretty much getting the CAD price on any US price you spend on. picked up a steam game once was around 29.99 here at the store was 37.99 and when I looked at my visa BOOM same price but maybe 50 cents more.
Ouch, my credit card doesn't do that. It's about 10%ish higher due to the exchange rate for me. It is a bit surprising they haven't added CAD already though. I'm not sure which I'd prefer if the option was available personally. I'd have to compare GOG's offered CAD rate with what my card charges me and pick the best on a given transaction I guess. More options are always better though.
As for the local currency price being inflated or whatever the way I would deal with such a thing is to decide what the maximum price I will pay for something in the given currency. If some game I want goes on sale for that price, I buy it. If it is higher than that price, I don't buy it. Why the price is higher than I'll pay wont matter to me, whether the game is just more expensive, or because the exchange rate conversion is terrible... I just wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't be upset about it either, but I wouldn't cough up more money for something than I'm willing to pay either. Got a big library to keep me busy if it comes down to that. :)
