Cavalary: Big increase there! And since they don't have CA$ as currency, how's that justified?

moonshineshadow: Well, you could ask the same question for the Region CH, it is not like gog supports CHF ;-)

Was referring to the fact that the number of regionally priced games in Canada jumped from 2 to 40 with the occasion of a conversion rate change. The CH change seems mostly in line with the EU (and EUR) one.

mrkgnao: From MaGog's logs for 13 April:

Another conversion rate change; another bagload of regional USD price adjustments. And it's a big one. See attached files (change jpg to txt) for the gory details.

Highlights:
- The following game is now no longer regionally priced in RU/UA/UZ: Industry Giant 2 ($9.99 instead of $2.79), making it --- rather surprisingly --- flat-priced

- REGION CH is no longer identical to REGION DE
- REGION CH is no longer identical to REGION SE
- REGION DE is no longer identical to REGION SE
- REGION IT is no longer identical to REGION NO

- CHANGED REGION CA num_games: 2 ***TO*** 40
- CHANGED REGION CA pct_only: -20.0% ***TO*** -14.5%

- CHANGED REGION DE num_games: 286 ***TO*** 294
- CHANGED REGION DE pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +9.2%
- CHANGED REGION IT num_games: 286 ***TO*** 294
- CHANGED REGION IT pct_only: +7.2% ***TO*** +9.1%
- CHANGED REGION NL num_games: 285 ***TO*** 293
- CHANGED REGION NL pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +9.2%
- CHANGED REGION MC num_games: 286 ***TO*** 294
- CHANGED REGION MC pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +9.2%

- CHANGED REGION CH num_games: 286 ***TO*** 292
- CHANGED REGION CH pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +7.9%
- CHANGED REGION SE num_games: 286 ***TO*** 294
- CHANGED REGION SE pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +8.0%

- CHANGED REGION NO num_games: 286 ***TO*** 294
- CHANGED REGION NO pct_only: +7.2% ***TO*** +4.6%

- CHANGED REGION CZ num_games: 279 ***TO*** 288
- CHANGED REGION CZ pct_only: +1.2% ***TO*** +3.1%
- CHANGED REGION PL num_games: 279 ***TO*** 288
- CHANGED REGION PL pct_only: +1.2% ***TO*** +2.7%

- CHANGED REGION RO pct_only: -0.5% ***TO*** +1.1%

- CHANGED REGION RS pct_only: -2.1% ***TO*** -0.8%

- CHANGED REGION GB num_games: 264 ***TO*** 289
- CHANGED REGION GB pct_only: +8.3% ***TO*** +5.9%

- CHANGED REGION RU num_games: 1383 ***TO*** 1382
- CHANGED REGION RU pct_only: -67.9% ***TO*** -67.2%

- CHANGED REGION UA num_games: 1292 ***TO*** 1373
- CHANGED REGION UA pct_only: -62.4% ***TO*** -63.5%

- CHANGED REGION UZ num_games: 1383 ***TO*** 1382
- CHANGED REGION UZ pct_only: -64.0% ***TO*** -63.5%

NOTES:
- "num_games" stands for "number of regionally priced games in that region"
- "pct_only" stands for "mean percent difference in price relative to US for the regionally priced games in that region"
The graphics you attached seem to be broken, browser says that they cannot be shown because of failures.

Another interesting fact is the way NO and GB move in an opposite direction to the rest of Europe, percent-wise.

They are not graphics. They are text files. Change jpg to txt.

mrkgnao: - CHANGED REGION DE pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +9.2%
- CHANGED REGION NL pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +9.2%
- CHANGED REGION MC pct_only: +7.3% ***TO*** +9.2%
Does this mean that DE / NL / MC is the on average most expensive region now? Or are there more expensive regions which are missing from this list?

eiii: Does this mean that DE / NL / MC is the on average most expensive region now? Or are there more expensive regions which are missing from this list?
Yes. DE is currently the most expensive region. NL and MC are an infinitesimally tiny fraction cheaper.

You can see all the regions in Table VIII. The more relevant column to your question is the rightmost one.

When I said that I wanted more German special versions this was not what I had in mind :(

Yay! We are the winner. First soccer world champions and now price world champions. You have to love this country!
Strange how we still have a pretty high level of unemployment and just recently introduced minimum wage since we all seem to have soooooooo much money.

I hate regional pricing :(

A full price that's not .x9? That... doesn't happen, does it?

The recent conversion rate update introduced this "anomaly". There are now at least a couple of hundreds of games having non-x9 prices in one or more regions. Forgot to mention that in my post.
