demonbox77: Cars, gas, food and clothes have costs for delivery and custom duties, while here we're speaking of digital goods, with NO delivery costs.
AliensCrew: Sorry, but this is bullshit.
If a car, which was build IN germany cost here more than in China (for example), when that has nothing to do with transport cost etc. Before the eastern European expasion of the EU it was common that a german car was more expensive in germany than it was in Poland or Hungary etc.
And regional pricing takes also effects for non physical goods like the visit in a theatre or hotel. And man power.
To eliminate regional pricing the world needs one and only one currency.
No I really think you are wrong on this.
China isn't the best example, but again I dare you to buy your Mercedes/VW/BWM from China and then have it delivered to you in DE...
About theatres and hotels, does it cost you more booking a room/show online from DE than let's say book the same room/show online in the country it actually is?
Regional pricing is not wrong per se, is wrong in the way it's been handled by most online gaming platforms.
But I'll quit here,since i really like GOG, the point is if I want to buy Gabriel Knight from an online digital shop (like GoG) in Italy (or Germany) I'll have to pay 26.29$, instead of the 19,99$ of the States, the 10,89$ of Russia or the 19.79$ of Poland.
Vats, Exchange rate for currencies, delivery costs, custom duties and minimum/standard wages are a nice smokescreen, 'cause they are different also between Germany and Italy and still we pay the same price.
