RimWorld, like two years ago, on the developer's site, before being Early Access on Steam.

According to my orders history, these are the games I paid full price for:

Titan Quest Anniversary Edition. This and Kingdom Rush were my first GOG purchases.

Kingdom Rush.

The Adventures of Shuggy.

Kingdom Rush Frontiers.

Undertale.

This game looks amazing. I really hope it comes to GoG.
Were they worth it? Any games you think you would do that for again?

Back when games came in cardboard boxes and were installed from these spinny things called "disks", I'd say I paid full price for most titles. Nowadays, maybe 20-40% of them. Mostly a guess there.

But really, what's "full price" on a classic release? gOg may have it at $5.99 but it was $30-$40 twenty years ago, and you get as much entertainment out of it now as you did back then... even the new full price is a huge discount.

The Witcher 3, which I'm yet to play past the first 30 minutes or so.

And it was a pre-order.

Why? I'm both expecting myself to go back and finish 2 and get the expansions to the third.

Also, MKX, SFV and Guilty Gear Xrd Sign.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Special Edition.
What. A. Letdown. Not only was the ultimate specimen in the case study that motion controls are bad, but the story was awful nonsense, and the companion character is possibly one of the worst had by Nintendo.

Let me summarize: The surface world is invaded by demons somehow. (This is never explained) For some reason, rather than calling a cosmic redo, the goddesses pull a chunk of ground up into the sky, (the Wii could not render the actual size, so it was reduced to a pathetic dot of an island) and appoint a hero to cleanse the now calm surface and make sure the demonic leader that caused all this doesn't wake up from his nap.

BUT they must have been drunk or something because they don't recognize the appointed hero, nor do any of the mythical dragons that the hero meets. Which is a problem, as the demon is waking up, so why should the hero, the only person on the surface have to do all this rigmarole to prove that he is the hero? (It's some hogwash about proving the spirit.)

Due to all the idiotic time wasted in doing all these idiotic quests to appease these idiotic guardians (instead of just getting it all right away), surprise surprise the demon awakes. The hero finally defeats him in a rather nonstandard way and the hero gets cursed with having to do this song and dance in future games.

Worst 70 dollars I spent.

I don't exactly have any other stories.

World in Conflict. It was the game that brought me to GOG. Today I reached 200 games in my account.

Speaking only of DD games, The Witcher Enhanced Edition and Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator are the only ones I've purchased with no discount.

Most games I don't care enough about playing to buy full price. And my options are severely and increasingly limited anyway, thanks to my aging laptop being my only computer. Also, there are better things I could do with my limited money.
One that I might consider paying full price for (we'll see after it eventually comes out) is Spelunky 2. I got the GOG version of the first one for free, and only got around to trying it six months later, and it is now among my all-time favorite games. I still play it almost daily. So, yeah.
Assuming it comes to a platform I have/use (e.g., not Steam), and whatever my computer is when the game comes out (probably still this one) can run it, and I am not ridiculously broke, and it doesn't inexplicably cost $30, and it doesn't turn out to be a turd...there is a very good chance Mossmouth will be seeing my money sooner rather than later, not to mention seeing more of it than would commonly be the case.

This was sort of the case for me with The Witcher. (I had actually been looking for a DRM-free copy of Morrowind: GOTYE -- which wasn't here yet -- but struck out, so I kind of "settled" for The Witcher, which was also a semi-modern [albeit years newer], dialogue-heavy, action-oriented RPG that my then-new laptop could run). I'd say I've easily gotten my ten bucks' worth from it...but had I known how frequent and steep the discounts were, I totally would've waited and maybe gotten something else just then.
I don't even slightly regret the two dollars I spent on Oh...Sir!! I bought it on a Christmas Eve as something to potentially play with family, and it would up serving that purpose, and it was fun solo, too.

The Witcher 3 is at least one. Mostly I buy in sales, but I recall once in a while buying GOG games that were not on sale, but then quite often they were "classic releases" which already had quite a low starting price.

That is a good question. A long long time ago, it used to be that I had been so anxiously waiting for a certain game that I wanted it ASAP, no matter the cost. Like the release of Final Fantasy 7-8 on PC intrigued me so much that I bought them as soon as they appeared on a retail store. The funny thing though is that much later when I sold them away, they had become relatively rare PC games so I got a better price for them than the original price. :)

Nowadays I very rarely encounter games that I feel I have to have on the release day. Like never. I already have so many other games to play in my backlog, plus if it is a brand-new release, I rather wait it has received some updates from the developer so that I am not playing some initial version with game-breaking bugs, and I also rather wait that the game has all the relevant DLCs released.

Also, nowadays you don't need to rush to buy a game fearing it will be sold out on (retail) stores and you can't have the game at all because digital stores have unlimited supply. In the retail times I remember kicking myself in the head several times "Why didn't I buy the game X when I saw it in that one store? Now I can't find in anywhere anymore.". Less chance of that nowadays, even if stores like GOG and Steam time to time remove some games from the store due to expired licenses, change of a publisher or whatever.

In the case of The Witcher 3, it was pretty much to show my support for GOG and CDPR. $6... Ok technically it is a full price, for the low-price re-release. So yeah I have also bought those 6€ classic GOG releases sometimes for a "full price", but with this thread I was more thinking of examples of buying pretty new games near the release day, paying something like 20-50€ for a game (depending if it is a "mere" indie game release, or a full AAA release).

I finally caved and bought Galactic Civilizations III at full price yesterday. I also bought Chaos Overlords at full price either yesterday or the day before. I don't know how many of my other games I got at full price but I pre-ordered Divinity Original Sin II, Pillars of Eternity II, and Battletech and I don't think any were discounted.

Looking through my orders page, I actually did pay for some games at full price,some of them are: Mafia, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, SWAT 4, Papers, Please, System Shock 2, Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition and FTL

If something like Nocturne, Resident Evil, Age of Empires II and Grow Home come out here I will be willing to spend full price too

The last thing I remember buying full price was The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb dlc. It was cheap and I wanted to support the game + enjoy everything at launch. Probably my only full purchase I don't regret. Crayons, as usual.

hmm.... lately?
