JudasIscariot: Look in the first paragraph of Hatoful Boyfriend's release newspost :) We aren't trying to hide anything as far as regional pricing goes.
Maybe the design department can come up with something for the game pages? Like a little globe icon next to the price for games that have one-world pricing, something like that. Acts as a positive selling point for GOG when someone then sees the game and goes "Wow, same price for everyone! That's really cool."

It would be a nice visual element, imho :) Could you file a ticket under "site feedback" ? :)

I like that idea. It may provide an incentive to developers to one-world price.

Never said or implied that you're trying to hide it, I only asked because I wasn't sure where to look.
FWIW, I think that people mean that the games should carry some distinctive label when browsing the games and not only in the release announcements.

RWarehall: Click the release announcements...
Hatoful Boyfriend - first bullet point
Hatoful Boyfriend, the unmistakably Japanese ultimate avian romance simulator brought to you by Devolver Digital, is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux on GOG.com, for only $9.99 in the US. Regional pricing applies for this title. If you end up paying more than $9.99, GOG.com will give you back the difference in store credit, as per our Fair Price Package.

Surgeon Simulator DLC - Third paragraph.
Please note that the DLC is regionally priced. If you happen to pay for it more than the standard USD price, we'll give you back the difference in store credit as per our Fair Price Package
Cheers, I rarely visit the release announcements, and I almost consciously avoid them now that they're so depressing with their fifty shades of grey top, bottom, left and right (yeah sorry, had to say it). I usually login on the forum and check out new releases via the release threads. But I now realised that its the same info that's in the OP of the release threads, so silly me I guess. :-)

I probably only noticed it because the release announcements and news stories are the first thing I click. I did notice that cliucking the huge image under "What's New" took me to the store page rather than the release announcement.

Thanks for the feedback on the One-World Price icon. I've sent a suggestion ticket in to GOG Support about it.

Up to GOG how they implement it. I think the game page makes the first logical step, also from a marketing standpoint (the customer is already on the page, so they're interested). Then depending on feedback from that they could take a look at spreading it further.

As a user I'd want it everywhere, but as a business I'd want it where it does me the most good. :)

Worst culprits: Daedalic Entertainment (11 regionally-priced, 17 total) and Devolver Digital (7+1* regionally-priced, 12 total).

My current stance on it, since GOG at least switched to proper store credit to make up for the difference, is touch nothing that any of these companies touched, whether or not the game itself is regionally priced at the moment, till they turn around on this (sorry CDP, pick better partners next time). Would sure like to see some sort of graphic notification about a game's pricing status though (likely even more involved than what I see was suggested here), to make it clear for everyone, whether or not they're personally affected, and would have definitely wanted a clear announcement about the games that suddenly became regionally priced after the introduction of multiple currencies instead of such a stealthy change hoping people won't notice!

* Separately from the above list, there's this list of games that have lower prices in some areas, but nobody is charged more than the standard (US) price:

Funny (in a not funny way) that Nordic & Frictional Games have no unaffected games, sadly only due to the fact that all others were pulled just a few days ago.

FTFY. The Witcher 2 was the first regionally priced game on GOG, back in 2011. Yet people keep forgetting it.
