mrkgnao: From MaGog's logs for 30 March:

* Regional price for Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure in RU: $4.09 instead of $9.99
* Regional price for Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure in UZ: $4.09 instead of $9.99
Thanks, added to the appropriate list. The trend continues...

I think it was already mentioned a few times before but GOG actually disabled gifting for Witcher 3 (and I guess other expensive games might follow) if you are from Russia and presumably other cheap regions. See here. I really don't get it...GOG decides to introduce regional pricing and then we have to "suffer" (a little strong, I know) for this by paying more and not even being able to gift and receive certain games. Good news!

This was probably mentioned elsewhere on the forum by now, but: EU wants to end regional pricing for digital goods. As in different prices and region locks between EU countries, of course, not also between EU and non-EU. Sounds nice, though why do I get this nagging feeling that this will result in enforcing the highest price on all?

Pic related. Dutch IP (see right-hand corner). Gift and receive all you want, it works.

Oh sure, that will work. If you are willing to pay the highest price, then you might gift it. You aren't so lucky if you try it the other way around though. ;)

So what were you complaining about in the post I quoted? People EITHER pay a relatively high price OR pay peanuts but are unable to buy gifts as a result of GOG's attempt to stop bootlegging.

Aw, no! =( I really wanted this game. So disappointed about it being regionally priced.
