Yeah, I have been wondering the same for a long time since all the other stores use fixed pricing. Its also one of the reasons why gog is more expensive then Steam in several instances.

PaterAlf: It seems that regional pricing (with higher pricing for some regions and not just regional discount for the Ex-Soviet states) is GOG's standard pricing model now. At least that's what one of the developers of The Masterplan told me when I asked him why they chose this pricing model:

I'd just like to point out this post as there was a bit of a misunderstanding there: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_the_masterplan_b560a/post40 http://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_the_masterplan_b560a/post36
Regional pricing is NOT our standard pricing model and we're still pushing for flat pricing worldwide (with the exception of Russia/CIS regions) whenever we can.

I'm sorry but that is not a worldwide flat pricing model... unless we no longer consider Russia/CIS regions to be part of our world.

Thank you for clarifying. It's good to see that you still try to avoid regional pricing with higher prices than the US base price.Regional pricing is NOT our standard pricing model and we're still pushing for flat pricing worldwide (with the exception of Russia/CIS regions) whenever we can.

Sure, like GOG proclaimed to continue striving for actual flat pricing when there was the initial huge backlash against regional pricing. So pardon me if I don't take your word that the current pseudo flat worldwide pricing is still the standard for GOG when CDPR's own game doesn't reflect that along with the majority of the other new releases here.

Cavalary: Worst culprits: 2 2015 entries are regionally priced (and more expensive) outside RU/CIS despite being over 3 years old.
Wow, over a third failures when dealing with lesser publishers and indie studios. So much for your power of negotiation...
+1 for the breakdown, that is what I was referring to as well. You can hardly consider it "pushing for pseudo flat worldwide pricing" when even some old games still come regionally priced. GOG's "standard pricing model" is more like a meager request then a stipulation for publishers. Wow, over a third failures when dealing with lesser publishers and indie studios. So much for your power of negotiation...
if they actually considered it as important as their DRM Free stance then adding a condition for publishers requiring them to make the games flat priced after a year or until they start to get heavily discounted for example would give some indication of GOG still pushing for flat world wide pricing (excluding ofcourse the outer world Russian/CIS territories).

*nods* Was saying that if push comes to shove I could go for that. Would still prefer the games not adhering to the original principles be somewhere else and GOG remain what it used to be, but could be all right if the games fitting the original criteria, so including being at least 3 years old, would follow all original principles, so including flat pricing. If added before it's 3 years old, meh, I'll grumble but may tolerate it, but hard condition that once 3 years since launch pass, regional pricing, if it exists before, is removed without increasing the base price, and game remains in catalog, no weaseling out by replacing it with a different edition to say it's new again (may have that separately if you want, and switch as well or merge with the old when that becomes at least 3 years old as well) or removing.Matruchus

Heh, at least your pr spin made me laugh while gogs track record shows that regional pricing is actually gogs default pricing model for some time now. Eitherway nice try. Regional pricing is NOT our standard pricing model and we're still pushing for flat pricing worldwide (with the exception of Russia/CIS regions) whenever we can.
Matruchus: I guess the devs decided to flatprice it while other devs are complacent like on Steam and don't bother with the pricing and just choose the default store pricing model (regional pricing).
Cavalary: Yep, takes two to tango in this. I mean, as far as I know not even Steam enforces regional pricing, I think? Just has all those recommended prices, or so I read, that indie devs and small publishers tend to just accept (big publishers tend to have their own pricing models), right? So now we can assume GOG does the exact same thing, but it's still a matter of the rights holder accepting or changing it to something else. Definitely rotten of them, offering regional pricing as default as well, but hardly surprising, and the blame is shared.

Since regional priced gog mix wont be updated, lets start some fair-price mix, I guess after initial creation in will be EASY to maintain.

Talking of regional pricing, on Enter The Gungeon it say that you'll get 3 dollars on you're wallet to compensate regional pricing if you buy the game.
Did GOG just added that? And is Enter The Gungeon the only game concerned?
