HypersomniacLive: The Brits are getting hit really hard by Vigil and Nordic Games, aren't they? These are some huge price differences.
Which is exactly why this Brit is not buying any games... :(

[Note that at the moment people in RU/UZ/UA are expected to pay US price ($14.99) for the game itself. I expect heads will roll for this travesty.]
From MaGog's logs for 1 June:

NOTE! CHANGED Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville, cur_price: 12.74 ***TO*** 12.79
NOTE! CHANGED Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville, you_save: 2.25 ***TO*** 2.20

[This curious five-cent change in sale price affects only US, the seven other countries that pay the US price (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela), and Canada]

[Note: MaGog does not display the current sale price correctly for other regions because I never thought we will have games where only the sale price, not the full price, is regionally priced in some regions. I will fix it soon.]

I thought Vietnam paid US prices... particularly since we have a two-currency system with dong and US dollars. What region do we belong to...? O.o

Vietnam belongs to RegCN ("Most of the World"). You pay the same price as US for all but two games (both possibly GOG bugs).

Here are the two games (check the Chinese flag for RegCN): [url=http://www.an-ovel.com/cgi-bin/magog.cgi?ver=370&scp=gdspu&dsp=ipgfsorlcmbah&flt=pra~cn~tds~%5Bremoved~&opt=]http://www.an-ovel.com/cgi-bin/magog.cgi?ver=370&scp=gdspu&dsp=ipgfsorlcmbah&flt=pra~cn~tds~[removed~&opt=[/url]

I must say this system is so strange. For Rebuild 3 Slovenia is so in the most of the world category then (12.74$) while otherweise its eastern europe region?

Wow, actual Vietnamese people are bound to love belonging to a Chinese region... especially as the situation in the South China Sea is heating up. Thanks for the info, mrkgnao!

No. Slovenia is RegRO ("EU Eastern Europe") in all cases. The Rebuild 3 sale (and full) price for RegRO and RegCN is the same.

Yes. I thought about it as I wrote the post.
However, I don't meddle in politics. I just select the most populous country of the region to represent it.

Oh, I know that and as long as I don't have to live in China, I'm good with that. xD There are plenty of really nice people in China, but I wasn't very happy while I lived there.

These were regionally priced since the beginning, they only stopped appearing so due to later adjustments/ exchange rate changes.

I think it was just a reversal of this.
