How about just the two letters if single country? e.g. PE for single country, regAR for region?

Thought the reason why you added that reg was because forum search won't take 2-letter search terms, so you'd be back there in that case.

Yes, but now we have Adalia Fundamentals. What reason is there to use the GOG forum search?

I hate it. Nearly every single release of the last few weeks was regionally priced (with higher price points than the base price). I think the only items that I could've bought were the new expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal (which I bought the second I saw it) and Eradicator (in which I have completely no interest).

I wish there would at least be a rule that regional priced games would turn to flat priced games after a certain time span (e.g. two or three years), but I guess once they arrive here regionally priced, they stay that way forever. Guess I'll have to wait for the next mystery sale to spend some money again.

Your call, was just pointing out a potential complaint :)

QFT...


*shrug* You gave reasons for other things as well, doesn't change what I said. Wouldn't change it even if it'd be unlocked tomorrow.

The point was to have a hard rule.

And something tells me those lists will only grow with time.

Oh, don't worry about that, GOG's trust rating since the "good news" is darn low from where I'm standing.

But there is no way to have a "hard rule". There are a lot of developers and you'll never get them all to agree. Frankly Cavalary, you seem to be going around to every thread you can to bash GoG. I see your posts all over the threads with people complaining about GoG not accepting some very marginal games. Here you are bashing some more. If you don't like it here, there are other stores...

I remember the Amnesia games and Penumbra. They were once flat priced, became regionally priced and are now flat priced (except for RU/UZ region) again. But besides that, I can't think of any other games.

Maybe mrkgnao and the almighty MaGog knows more?

Thank you for answering. And I think you are right. It's too much work for a little information. I'm pretty sure there wasn't much more stuff than the three games I've mentioned. Maybe one or two others slipped my memory, but that's probably it. In any case there were much more games that changed from flat priced to regional priced than the other way around.

Funny, there was a way to have an even harder rule before 2 years ago.
And you saw me in precisely one thread about not accepting a game, and hardly all over in general. Tend to just track a small number of threads, though yes, my activity since the "good news" is largely limited to bashing them about the way they went since then. And that's because the very fact that they were different in those ways were why I ended up here in the first place and why I was promoting them in every way I could.
But please, do tell me of another store that does DRM-free, flat prices, no regional restrictions, decent support (as in other than sending you over to the developer in case of trouble) and most preferably making a cause out of these things, wanting to change things, like they used to. For the other stores that never claimed those things I never cared and I still won't; can count the games legally purchased before GOG on my fingers (all retail copies) and then seeing them actually fight for something fair made me get off "pirating" for good... for the time being.
So I'm bashing because I want that again, somebody fighting to turn this industry into something good and fair for the end user who actually cares and thinks things through. So, again, if you have others making a dent in this area and standing firm, do point me their way. Otherwise, they're the ones I know used to, and can only hope to keep reminding them, and the others who may be inclined to care, of it now and then.

[As you may have noticed, this post sees the introduction of a small change in report format (suggested by Cavalary), whereby if a region is composed of only one country, it is listed as the two-letter code only (e.g. RU), while if it is composed of multiple countries, the code is preceded by "reg", as before. Let me if you have any objections.]

I do, but not about the naming of regions.
