I don't have regional pricing here on GoG. I'm curious if Paradox increased prices of their games here on GoG too.

They increased all prices at Steam before summer sale :)

Here take a look how it is at Russia http://i.imgur.com/daWq94w.png

And I made a list for affected countries too

Brazil
Canada
Chile
China
Colombia
Eu Countries
Hong Kong
Indıa
Indonesia
Japan
Malaysia
Mexica
New Zealand
Norway
Russia
Peru
Philippines
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
South Africa
South Korea
Taiwan
Thailand
Turkey
UAE
UK

So how is prices for Paradox games in your country? Did they increased it at GoG too? Let's talk :)

Edit: Well they also increased the prices on GoG. Thanks for sharing muntdefems ^^

So far, doesn't seem to have increased here, at least not with Pillars of Eternity, which I was just comparing to steam. I'm eager to know if there will be a price increase on GOG as well, although I fully expect there to be. Frankly, their price inflation is ridiculous (45% for PoE) and it makes me think twice from buying any games published from them.

Edit: doing a bit of research, haven't found any game with price increase in GOG, so far. Checking on steam, indeed many games have had an increase, some over 50% increase.

Base prices on GOG for currently discounted titles:
Tyranny - Commander Edition: R$81.99
Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition: R$81.99
Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Expansion Pass: R$45.99

Current base prices on steam for comparison:
Tyranny - Commander Edition: R$ 118.99
Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition: R$ 118.99
Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Expansion Pass: R$ 65.99

Attached are images with prices for all Paradox games on my region.

Here's their official comment:

"Hey gang,
As you have noticed prices for our products have increased in certain regions around the globe and this is something we've intentionally done. The reason for this is to make our prices match the purchasing power of those areas, as well as create a more equal price point for our products across the globe.

Our prices have remained pretty much the same for several years and it's only natural for us to re-evaluate price points at regular intervals based on the strength of various currencies, fluctuations in world markets and many other factors. This is something that all publishers do and we are no exception.

Sadly this means that the price has gone up for certain regions and whilst this is something we'd like to avoid, it's necessary to keep our price point more in line with our other markets. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may cause and hope you can understand why we are doing this."

What a bunch of assholes. Pillar of Eternity: Royal Edition cost nearly 90$ (US) here and they still think it's underpriced???

Isn't it the price in those regions like Russia that's the issue, not the US price?
The Russian price was probably something like $1 when converted.

It's interesting that when companies take "the strength of various currencies, fluctuations in world markets and many other factors" into account, prices rarely ever go down...

In the OP you can see that they've increased the prices for many regions including the EU (which was the price point I was referring to).

Not quite sure I understand this. It costs them X amount to produce a game, which then goes onto the net for people to buy and download. How does someone being in country a or country b affect this? Tax, yes I could understand that, but just happening to be country a doesn't increase the cost to Paradox one iota. Surely this is just taxing rich countries to up your own profit margins?
Or perhaps they need to continuously feed their DLC machine?

Their prices are already rough and they will be just ludicrous. Pillars of Eternity Royal Edition here is regionally priced at $49 right now and if it's increased should be expected to go for about $73. Compare that to Witcher 3 GOTY which is priced at $32, a fair price in my opinion, for the amount of content it offers.

Quoted For Truth.

Pretty ridiculous move, and seeing the wide ranging scale of this price hike, I fully expect the same to happen on GOG once the sale is over. Thankfully I got the game (Pillars of Eternity) much cheaper through the crowd funding years ago. Otherwise I simply wouldn't buy it. No game is worth a price like that, especially now in the digital age. At least with a boxed copy, proper manual and stuff like that, I can understand a price of $50-60. But now, when logistics is a piece of cake, it is simply milking your customers.

Most still remain customers though, which is why practices like this can go on.

Increasing prices before a sale just means the discounts can be even more impressive. Who buys during normal price times anyway? The question is if prices during sales have gone up? If so, probably less people will buy Paradox games. They are good but not great (usually).

That's sarcasm, I hope.

Actually the prices old and new are seen in the image above. The price for basic "Pillars of Eternity" was 799 RUR (about $14). On GOG it's approx. $14 / $18 / $26 for Hero / Champion / Royal.

It was an exaggeration for comedic effect.
Not a particularly good one I admit.

That's not a good move from Paradox. USA prices are the same and the rest is paying more? I doubt that they will see more of my money for this treatment.
