stg83: That is what I imagined GOG to have enforced in their negotiations with publishers if they were really serious about doing their best to strive for flat pricing. But the sad trend of regionally priced games developed and published by fellow Polish developers suggests otherwise. The way things appear now I am not even sure if The Witcher 3 will ever become flat priced eventually like how it happened with The Witcher 2.
HypersomniacLive: You put it in the right context - imagined. And you were not alone.
I'm still thinking of the few pages of text I threw forward after the "good news" moment, where I was suggesting a separate site, possibly just turning CDP's shop international, for newer titles that require regional pricing, keeping GOG at 2-3 older flat-priced titles a week, but with a clear deal with the publishers signing up for the other shop to move their games to GOG on GOG's (old) terms after a certain amount of time (was suggesting at most 3 years after initial game release or 2 after entering the other shop's catalog, whichever comes first... could be persuaded to remove this 2nd condition to prevent publishers from waiting a year before signing to meet them both at once, but the 3 years since release is definitely the maximum), and keep them here on those terms, and with price matching the standard (usually US) price, so not hiked up to highest as *those two* are or failing to apply price cuts that normally come around with age, after that.
But instead we just have someone high up, don't know if at the very top of GOG or at CDP or even at CDP's parent company, with $$ in their eyes like those cartoons and screw the rest, just throw them a bone now and then to keep the worst mess at bay a little more till the new crowd we'll draw in by playing this tug of war with the other distributors for an ever more fickle audience will drown out all our core crowd that got us in a position for this to even be an option, we don't need them anymore.
