I think the new visibility of international currency just makes it really explicit if there is any standard pricing difference even if that has been the case all along.

GOG has set prices for each currency, see G-doc's post here on page 6. These are set to be equivalent but vary as much as $0.12 in relative price per currency due to inconsistent exchange rates.

I guess that makes sense although it just highlights how silly the whole industry is.

It's ok to sell to a german for 10$ but if it's for 7.5€ it's a huge problem to the other partners lol.

Well ok I guess they're either really silly or really stupid for not having noticed before(not nordic the other "partners").
Both is kinda equally unflattering.

What exactly were the other reasons?

If you don't know, you haven't been paying attention.

And the fact it is flat and not doing a spot check for conversion shows up the "we'd have to keep continually changing things on the others stores to keep it the same!" bit of ThomNG's post for the straw man argument that it is.

For me it was the one reason to join GOG. A clear statement that anything purchased here is guaranteed to be DRM free. Not like other stores where you have to check every time if something is DRM free and still get fooled in the end because you missed a small footnote somewhere.

A poll would be great. We already had a poll over DLC so why not have one over this.

We don't even know if any "other partners" have a problem; I certainly don't think Steam would object or even notice as giant as they are. Nordic is just being "pro-active."

LOL at your new gray avatar!

If that's your answer maybe you don't know either.

Here is a newsflash, there are many GoG customers that are also Steam customers (some more than others).

Personally, I'd prefer a USD lock for all the games. I just don't see the obvious upsides to users being able to pay in their respective currencies, maybe somebody is willing to educate me on these.

Wow, I just made it a few minutes ago and it has grown quite big, I thought it was a crazy idea, but now it seems it has future, maybe I should sugest the one of asking for donations when they are short on money to make a deal.

Btw. this whole situation is quite funny.

Good (well, some) old games are being taken down because of regional pricing (well, not regional pricing per se, but the way GOG is handling it). Regional pricing was introduced here to get more new, mostly shitty, AAA games. So good old games has to go, so new shitty ones can come. And this place is still called "Good Old Games". You're kind of like Americans with their "Football".

There is loads of classic old great games that are still not here and yet you're trying to get new games. I think I said something along those lines during regional price introduction but I'll repeat myself. You're only successful, because you found a niche and didn't directly compete with steam. If you'll go out of this niche, you'll get eaten alive, because user base that brought you success will go away.

Yup, it's the great mystery of out time.
