I've been procrastinating a bit this afternoon and evening, and I've done this:

Regional Pricing on GOG.com


· The data is up to date as of 26 June 2017

· I've used MaGog as the source, so it only includes games released (or 'released in-dev') on GOG.com prior to 25 May 2017, plus all the DLCs for pre-existing games that have been released after that date

· For each region, I've highlighted the most obvious 'outliers', i.e. the games that have an 'abnormally large' discount or surcharge

· I guess I'll keep generating histograms every quarter or so :P

Awesome work! Especially the outliers are interesting.

+1 for you!

Wow, great work indeed!
Quite sure at least a few of those outliers are bugs, but probably won't get changed too soon (unless they're too big discounts maybe).

Yep, to be honest I was tempted to only post 'positive outliers' in case they only correct the excessive discounts... :P


Erratum:

· I forgot to complete the caption for the Monaco region (which has the same outliers as regIT)

· I failed to mention that the Slovakian region currently has the exact same prices as regCZ

· I've just found out I cannot edit the Imgur album (most likely because I haven't got an account there). So I think I'll create one account tomorrow and I'll re-post everything so I can edit whenever I want (and while I'm at it, I think I'll exclude games no longer available on the store, which were taken into account in today's histograms)

Nice diagrams and statistics, good work!

MaGog also has some nice metrics about added games, just in case somebody has not discovered them yet.

As promised, here's v2.0 of 'Regional pricing on GOG.com', as of 27 June 2017.

I've added some more statistics an a full list of regional prices (sorted by discount/surcharge) to each region.



PS: I'm gonna poke Judas (the only blue I could think that has posted in this thread) in case the powers that be can/wanna do something about some of the obvious erroneous prices. After all, in the end it's GOG who's paying for the surcharges, so I guess it's in their best interest to fix the most ridiculous ones. :)

Even more awesome job! And some pretty crazy things there.
... not that the whole concept isn't all sorts of messed up. Still wondering how come anyone ever got away with it, not to mention how come it became the full norm even for those who claimed otherwise and only gets worse.

Will do, later tonight.

Not anymore:

Price drop to $19.99... I'm getting wallet funds for the difference already. MaGOG probably updated right in between.

Any particular reason they are doing something like this? It makes no sense! Sorry, if it's obvious or if it was explained somewhere before.
