Cavalary: Brits sure are getting screwed on Darksiders...
Wow, I didn't even notice that one. That's just naughty...
Hey, us Germans only pay $1.20 more than the "standard" price?
Funny economics and stuff.

A cute example of how we have progressed, so that now new users don't seem to know that we even have regional pricing:

Maybe ill_e_gal thinks that a gift code price is set by the recipient's location? Far fetched but since regional pricing is everywhere, who doesn't know that Americans pay more than Russians and Brits pay most of all?

How would he know? He sees only Belarussian prices. And he joined only a month ago.

But wouldn't a Belarusian (Why does spell check want me to write Belorussian? O.o) gamer be aware that their prices have a steep discount at all outlets? I assumed Steam did the whole region locking because people in that region sell keys for profit?

I'm probably just in denial... I don't want people to be that ignorant. =/

If by soon you mean 1 July 2017... if it isn't repealed (though it won't be as all govts <3 taxes...)

I was blinded by my love for GOG and thought all this regional pricing stuff applies only to Steam and the likes of it.

Btw, great job with MaGOG, mrkgnao.

Yeah, I used to love GOG for their flat pricing, so I hear you on that one. It's sad with the way pricing is going around here.

Mrkgnao is great. I'm a big fan. =P

mrkgnao: snip
I wonder if at least some of them are mistakes that will be fixed (like the Darksiders games, which now became cheaper in Europe and significantly cheaper in UK).

Forgive me, everyone, I'm pretty tired - do these changes reflect the fact that the EUR got stronger against the USD?

[...]

13) Bottom line: The trend seems to be that if a game becomes cheaper in Europe compared to US due to regional pricing, the regional pricing is cancelled for it
You mean the FPP is cancelled, yes?

HypersomniacLive: You mean the FPP is cancelled, yes?
Actually, no. For the FPP to have been cancelled, the games would have to remain more expensive than the US prices. What has happened is that the fixed prices for some games are now gone (whether they gave a FPP or not in the first place).
