Would have been an instabuy at 10$, but at 20 it only gets added to my wishlist and it will stay there until there's a sale with a nice (meaning at least 50%) discount...

This. Let's just not buy this thing if you don't agree with the price tag. Sure enough, GOG could've said no to selling RCT3 if it implied too much arm twisting from the publisher, but they did it, so now let's just wishlist the hell out of it and either wait for the sale or just not buy it at all.

They informed the community for a good while that new price points would be introduced, and newer games also. They informed us to expect these ages ago, for those who still complain, the solution is clear, buy it somewhere else, and then mail GoG the reason why.

Money speaks louder then words and if you WANT a lower price point for this, then you have the power to make that happen. The price point change from 6-10 came when they wanted to host new games, in which the community was in support for, also mentioning the increased and varied price points.

They have proved DRM free works excellently as a business model, they have proved old games still sell very well. However if you have read their interviews throughout the years, they have also mentioned their desire to change more of the industry out of the habit of DRM. New price points are indicative of that.


However, let's look at this from a price perspective, pound wise. On steam it's priced at 20£, far too much, on GG it's a more reasonable £15. Compare this to the GoG price it's still a little bit more. The GoG version is the cheapest, at around £12.32. Now that might be little comfort to you since it's past the 10 mark, but this is a newer title, isn't just the base game and is DRM free. But it's the cheapest for us UK folk digitally, so again GoG has done right by us.

TeT already posted about the negotiations, and the blame lies at Atarti's feet not GoG's. They gave us a new game on the service, and just wait for a sale if you don't agree with the price. THEN it will be at the desired 10$ price point.

End of the day guys, it's no good complaining just here, put your money to your mouth is and show that your principles are worth a damn. E-mail them, buy from somewhere else and the best thing?? Buy it when the discount is 50% off here. I think that'll send the loudest message.

Just to highlight this part. I think part of the problem people have with it is that TET specifically said they'd stick to the the 5.99-9.99 price points for 'classic games' (3+ years) , and that was after the introduction of the new pricepoints.

http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/new_official_price_points/post5 Personally I think a big part of the problem here is that quite a few of the recent games being released aren't new to the digital world or anything. And the problem that stacks on top of that is that they've also been on sale for quite a few times already. And despite the listing price, people will compare it to the sales prices somewhere in the back of their head. Not the (often outrageous) listing prices when they're not on sale.

It's the cheapest version available for digital distribution.
At least I think it is, not sure exactly what the exchange rate makes it.

On GamersGate it's available for £14.95, only it doesn't come with the bonuses.

I have no clue why people keep bringing up the prices on other digital distribution sites and (online/offline) stores. I don't care for how much they are selling it. If they're selling it for 20 bucks, then they too are ripping people off.

'Everybody's doing it' isn't an excuse, and people have every right to say "You put a hugely overpriced game on your site".

Would you people like some cheese with your whine? Seriously. This thread is so full of negativity, it's ridiculous. People just like to bitch about everything these days, especially since there's always a 50/50 chance on any given release that this will happen. Then again, I expect there are plenty more people who aren't posting here to actually make a purchase. Comment sections like anywhere else on internet user boards contain the vocal minority.

I expect all that bitching and moaning to start over again when Vampire Bloodlines will eventually find its way here with the same price tag, even after so many people have said how they really wanted to see the game on GOG, and it's about the same age with less game content (expansions).

As for me, just yesterday I was thinking that it would be nice if RCT3 showed up on the site, considering GOG's new pricing structure. I never would have expected it to be less than $20. It's still a good price to me. So I'm definitely happy to see this here. I'm buying because it's a game I really want.

Waaaay too expensive and GoG breaking promises. 6 years is an old game.No sale.
Sorry, but I won't pay $20,- for a single game. Not through GoG, Steam or Desura. The only exception having been the Witcher 2 because of the bold move to release a new AA-game without DRM. Period.

Then you're a chump and the very reason publishers can and will drain consumers for as much money as they possibly can, even if the game is 6 years old.

So. Much. Win. I agree with you completely, mate.

Same here it is a good game but to much at current price.

I'm somewhat interested in it for the expansions. But naturally $20 isn't going to make this a day one purchase. But a sale might swing it.

Does anyone know if the expansions have better campaigns? I found the original campaign stupidly restrictive.

Pfft. I'm a chump now? Oookay. Whatever makes you feel good, I guess.

I may not earn a whole lot of money - far from it - but I spend my money how I see fit. The day a $20 game, no matter what age, kills my wallet I might as well give up on gaming altogether.

Me neither. But I'm happy with every game released here with no DRM.
I know, but I don't have time to play them anyway. And I don't have machine I could play them atm (which is not really the problem, but it's also a good excuse).

And they aren't going anywhere, so if I want to, I may buy it.

Plus, there's a chance that in next 5 years, when I have time to play them, those game will be drm free. And cheaper.

Not ascetism, but really if I have two great games to play, and I have only time to play one, then I'm going to choose drm free one.
