No, the price will remain the same, only the currency will change.

mrkgnao: From MaGog's logs for 19 March:

* Regional price for Lichdom: Battlemage in RU: $10.89 instead of $39.99
* Regional price for Lichdom: Battlemage in UZ: $10.89 instead of $39.99
Dickweeds. And I caught the drama in the other thread about the soundtrack and the loss of ratings/reviews on this title. Even in the midst of breaking shit they take time to go and break some other shit instead.

can you link me to the "drama"?

MaGog obviously reported this but it's not a real change (just a new game ID). It was regionally priced before and also before the most recent pricing update happened, which explains the slight difference.

Yes, I discovered I already had it on the Regional Discount list. However, I had not put it on the GOGmix, so it was still a useful update.

Thanks for catching this. MaGog is not yet fully equipped for handling a game changing its ID, nor am I.

Not sure I follow - is the first question related to the second one? "Fair prices' is GOG's new motto regarding regionally priced games, because they offer store credit if your price exceeds the US base price. Note though, that with the decline of the Euro and the constant price adjustments, this is no longer the case for a number of games (not sure which ones exactly, I don't buy regionally priced games).

LoG2 isn't regionally priced, so your price is the US price. If it's better to pay in USD or EUR depends on the transaction fees your bank charges you.

There was a point when if I pre-ordered witcher 3 I could get 11 or 7 worth of fair price.. There isn't that anymore it's like a dollar nowadays. i'm not complaining but it still is weird. I once said in thread (or just now) that I could pay 10 euros for witcher medal but you know don't you fucking make dragon age inquisition 2.. I liked consoles before they had own games

also I could pay 10 euros more to have good version in pc

It all depends on the exchange rate of the €. With the fair price package, you're given back the difference in store credit. Since the € has been continuously weakening these last months, the difference between $ and € also got smaller and so did the store credit you get back.

I'm getting it some point how could i not. Though I heard the stuff that with recommended it only could run in 30fps hopefully there was ubersambling on there. i'm not actually caring about few euros but I just once saw it, before it got delaid.

Witcher for me (especially the first one) is a better game than many others. I don't actually get it why so many people take witcher 2 and say it's awesome.. I said it in the first game, first game was awesome. =P I really want to see geralts ordeals what happens in three and his women. =)
