In real words you want to keep in control .
Steam is the perfect place , you pay the rent and you can go ape .
Publishers are not ready for the free market .

hi everyone i was going to get some of the games in the list i'e
DESPERADOS: WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE @ $1.49
DESPERADOS 2: COOPER'S REVENGE @ $2.49
RED FACTION @ $1.99 goes up
THE BLACK MIRROR @ $2.49 goes up
BLACK MIRROR 2 @ $2.49 goes up
now here's the problem when i go to the checkout some of them suddenly increase in price admittedly not by much but still more than the listed price

i've sent an email asking why but to no avail,

is anyone else having this problem?

I think that has to do with regional pricing. I could be wrong, but I heard they give you credit back for that?


Man, I'm confused as hell, I thought GOG didn't do that?...

that's was what i thought at first, but it doesn't happen on all of the games just a few ,which is quite frustrating as i had a few in my basket which only totaled about £20 which is about 33.22 US Dollars, i hope someone from the team answers my email

I don't see your problem in my computer. Do you pay by paypal? If so, there might be extra charges.....
Same with some prepaid cards

Still a bit saddened that GOG are getting rid of all these games from their catalogue. I mean, if they're removing games like Freedom Force Vs the 3rd Reich, then it's pretty much a no that they'll get the first Freedom Force game in. I was waiting for them to do that so that I could get them both at the same time :(

And there are many others on the list that should remain on GOG.

These time-out distribution deals that some of these publishers have with GOG seem a bit mad. You get the impression that they're still a bit unsure of the DRM free market.

Ah well, I suppose I'll have to get both Freedom Force games from Gamersgate. At least they're still DRM free on there.

Oh, I see what you mean now. I noticed it too (see image, all those games are 60% off in dollars).
It must be the rounding in different currency.
In euro prices €1.89 is the 42,02% of €4.49. In dollar prices $2.39 is 39.89% of $5.99.

I believe the need to set the price at x.99€ is causing this difference.
It's only 1% or 2% so it's ok with me.
My bank charges me 4% extra for buying in dollars, so it's still better for me.

Too bad these games will go. From the explanation of the Nordic guy I read that they are okay with flat prices worldwide (that's the state as it was until last week) but that they are not happy with two currencies and constantly changing prices in one of these currencies. So the question is, why couldn't GOG just let them stay with US-$ prices (the state so far) only? I really don't understand it.

Maybe there is more, maybe not. Who knows.

Anyway, to show my loyalty I bought six games and give 4 of them away

Gothic 2 Gold:

81BDE-F66C6-69D37-CEE23
B36D7-C7E88-A4C8D-17B5A

Black Mirror 2:

35121-B895D-6CFA2-1C329
93F4E-57FEA-9A754-C47AC

Great choices, +1.

I got Gothic 2 Gold, thank you Trilarion.

thanks for your generous gifts +1

I did go for
mirror1
mirror2
freedom
summoner

It's sad to see nordic leave but I guess that's the way it is

Waitaminute!
REMOVE games ??!
Even f the stay in bought libraries, this is quite opposite of GOG base principles.
IMHO You owe your loyal clients a little bit of explanation WHY such absurd move is made in the first place.

There have been about a dozen threads discussing the situation over the last few days. Blue posts, posts from the developers pulling out, links to outside threads explaining the situation.

In short, GoG is not dropping these games. There is a disagreement in terms with some of the publishers.
