not really


Edit - two words, and I still manage to get in a typo.

No.

They are a bit on the expensive side. So far I've bought games on gog only during sales, but still the average price is around $2-3/game. In bundles I bought sometimes even the same games with $0.20 or less (back to the future for ex.).

Nope!

Nope. I do feel sometimes that the odd indie game is a little expensive but I just wait for a promo.

Good prices, good promos, if it's a little more expensive than somewhere else - I'm happy to pay the difference for DRM-free product.

What? No!

"Hey, I'm not gonna pay twenty bucks for this cake while I can get poo for twenty cents a piece around the corner!".

Yes, that's why everyone buys in special sales. Or who wants to buy Omerta for 40 bucks? :D

Nah. Most are reasonably priced.

There are a few games I think are overpriced seeing as I can buy the disc version cheaper - but these are only a few ubisoft games.

And besides - there's always promos.

I don't feel they are too expensive, but I do feel we PC gamers are being drowned with "cheap"(*) games in bundles and megadeals that there is less incentive to buy games at full price. Hardly ever GOG, or any other digital store, gets a game that I feel I should get right there and then.

I am currently playing mostly Baldur's Gate 2, I think it will take still weeks before I am done, and I have hundreds of other games in the backlog already, waiting their turn. So it is no surprise if I don't feel like I should go out to buy PS3 or XBox360, and GTA V, right now, just like so many others. So now I am more in the mode of "Meh, looks nice, maybe I'll play it sometime, so I could get it at that price I guess.".

A few exceptions sometimes though, when I really feel I want to specifically support the said developer/publisher with an extra "Thank you". Meaning that I will most probably preorder The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG for full price, or how I bought two copies of Minecraft (as presents) for full price. And yes, I am ready to pay extra for a DRM-free release, than e.g. a mere Steam key.

(*) I said "cheap" games, because I feel in many Steam key bundles the cheapness is a bit artificial, as they quite often lack any DLCs, or have internal micropayment system (like Dead Space 3 from the Origin bundle). So I feel they are "cheap" in the same way as e.g. World of Tanks is "free".

If you count in the price of the missing DLCs, then quite often the price is suddenly far higher.

Depends on the title, really

Some games offer incredible value for money here on GOG, both in the actual game itself and the extras that they offer

I even made a GOGmix about that http://www.gog.com/mix/incredible_value_gogs_with_a_huge_list_of_extras

On the other hand, there are other incredibly overpriced games on GOG which are in no way worth the price which the publisher asks for them

Ubisoft can kiss my dick if it thinks I'm paying 20 Dollars for Assassin's creed when I can get a physical copy from Amazon for 2 Euro

I also made a GOGmix for those kind of games

Given the value they provide, GOG's offers are certainly not overpriced imho. Compare the prices to what you have to pay in a cinema or restaurant, and then compare how much lasting enjoyment you can get out of a good game, compared to a movie or a meal. Also, GOG spends more time and effort on testing and updating their products, and providing extras with them, than any other shop in the business. So the "Bang for your buck" is certainly there.

Compared to the current market situation, GOG's prices _do_ seem more on the expensive side, even though they have changed their original stance now, and are providing 80% discounts and the like. However, the current market situation is clearly not sustainable, and while it's great for us customers to get a bunch of games for a pittance, the current prevalence of these offers can't be healthy for the business in the long run.

While I _am_ buying games for cheap if I get the opportunity, I'm also glad that GOG is taking a long term perspective, and doesn't seem willing to succumb to potentially ruinous practices.

No.

When GOG releases a game I'm interested in, the price is never a deal breaker. That's something I can't say about other stores.

I have been mostly buying in promos recently because:
1) I was curious but unsure about the release. A lack of demo hardly motivates me to spend, thus I wait for the price I'm willing to "bet".
2) The game has been already released somewhere else DRM-free with Linux support.
3) I have already bought the old average game so many times as an CD attachment of game mag for same or lower price that I didn't see a point paying full price again.

Exceptions are games published by Telltale. The studio is used to stick to the "Day-1 price forever, lower price only in promos" model.
