deoren: While GOG does have some pull, I have to wonder about that. After all, all of the Ubisoft titles are set to $9.99 instead of having varied pricing on initial launch here. The exception would be the comment on a recent interview that GOG is in talks with Ubisoft to have Heroes of Might and Magic released under the $5.99 price point instead of $9.99.
Although that may be all besides the point as $9.99 is the top end of the pricing here.
chautemoc: They're all more recent games though..personally I think they're all worth the $10 easily, especially including the extras, no DRM, etc.
GOG has as much say as the publishers, as it seems.
Great points, and I agree with them, but I was a little disappointed to hear that
all of the Ubisoft titles would be set to $9.99.
It was later in another posting that it was mentioned that GOG was in talks with Ubisoft to have HoMM reduced to $5.99. I don't know if that's official though, but I guess we'll find out once it's released.
All in all I agree with you though.
