Namur: 3 Fallout games on GOG, with Extras, no discount 17,97$ (12,60€)
3 Fallout games on Steam, no Extras, no discount 38,46$ (38,46€)

Miaghstir: Fixed

No he was right the first time, was just calculating what the 26.97€ would be in $. It's 26.97$ if you buy each game separately at the currently discounted price of 8.99 each.

Yeah, you're right, I actually checked myself after posting, and then changed it as you posted. :-P
EDIT!: Ah, yes, discounted is 26.97€, euro-price is normally 3*9.99€ = 29.97 €
Damn, my brain isn't functioning as it should... I should probably sleep. Post fixed, final.

And you still didn't get it right. By no discount i meant bought separately so you can forget the 9.99€ per game and focus on how much 8.99€ X 3 (26,97€) is in dollars :)

Big deal. Everyone there was already talking about how they'd rather get it on GOG for less.

Many people don't like to hang at that circus they call boards over there so having the figures here can't hurt.

Nah, that was intentional - no discount is no discount.
8.99$/€ is a discounted price, 9.99 originally.

Fine. In that case you'd have to change
"3 Fallout games on Steam, no Extras, no discount 29,97$ (29,97€)"
to
"3 Fallout games on Steam, no Extras, no discount 42,68$ (29,97€)"
to make it right.

I'd say that USD should show what people'd pay in the US, and Euro show what people'd pay in the euro-zone (which for steam is the same number, and for gog is the same value), but fine, I'll accept yours as well.
The table was your idea anyway, and me not understanding it fully makes ample room for misunderstandings in discussion.

It's more expensive than Gog but....The advantage of Interplay games on Steam : several languages ! We can play Fallout 1&2, Sacrifice etc in French, German...
I'm french and I prefer to play in my language even if I can understand english language...

You're still not getting it.
In this post here you changed my quote to "29,97$ (29,97€)" and that's wrong, period. There's no two ways about it. 29,97€ IS NOT 29,97$.
No room for misunderstanding anywhere. Straight forward math. Straight forward currency conversion.
As an European i pay in Dollars on GOG so there was no point in converting the prices to Euros.
As as European i pay in Euros on Steam. All i did was post the value on Steam in both Euros and Dollars for us Europeans, that's it.

I do understand you, after the last post, but first I interpreted it as being X$ in the US, and Y€ wherever steam takes prices in euro - in which case X and Y is the same (steam conversion being 1$=1€). Whereas GOG only prices in $US and whoever uses another currency locally pays at the current real conversion rate.
Fault lies with me, I apologise.

Don't worry about it, it's all good.
If someone needs to apologise is Steam for the blatant rip off attempt :)

i remember seeing the GoG Version of Fallout 1+2 on another site as an Illegal Download - some user were championing for GoG in that you should buy it (Which you Should)

Given that Interplay are so keen to profit from old titles it's amazing how Planescape Torment has yet to resurface anywhere.

Depending on wether they still have a license to sell their D&D games... like Codemasters and TOCA3/CMR2005. (Or if they're not allowed to sell anything based off the Planescape setting, given that WotC killed it.)
Either that, or it's too little action for the "modern gamer" (given that I've seen the Baldur's Gate series from time to time, though that was quite a while ago I saw it last).
