Doominator99: I do not understand why I should pay my bank to convert the currency. Don't they have a program to automatically convert it for them? It should be free and it sounds like they are stealing to me.

Steam, Amazon and many other sites display the British prices. I don't understand why GOG can't do the same.

All this sounds unnecessarily complicated, but then again, if I had my way the entire world would be a single country, with a single currency, with a single language and everything would be simple and perfect and rainbows.

Vote for me as Emperor of Mankind!

justanoldgamer: Vote?
When I take over as God Emperor of Mankind it won't be by a vote, I know what is best for the sheeps better than they do.
*Add Doominator99 to list of people to re-educate.
If you are the God Emperor of Mankind, I'm the evil robot monkey running the Matrix you are plugged into... :P Today, God Emperor of Mankind, tomorrow...... Who should you be tomorrow, Mr.justanoldgamer? ;o)

qux: I'm glad New Zealand was not on that map. With all the crap going on in the world, I hope the world (and America especially) forgets about us.

HeDanny: Pretty sure most of the world thinks of you as part of us. Same with New Guinea etc. Its all "Down Under". As long as they know Russel Crowe you, Hugh Jackman us, no worries, right?
You can have Russell Crowe.

tinyE: Actually...
The most disturbing thing about that pic, for me at least, was that its creator managed to misspell "moose".
The OP must have not did some research or used his brain, and thought this is a company of the USA. lol

MaximumBunny: Yet everyone speaks English here. You know why? Cause USA BABY! We rule the world and there isn't anything you can do about that. So sit back and enjoy the hot dogs. MURRICA!!!! :D

Doominator99: Is there a way to show the price of games in British pounds? I would like to know exactly how much I am paying when I buy something. Not everyone lives in America you know :/
I imagine "why" isn't as important as "What would you like?" which you've indicated. GOG has indicated sometime earlier this year that they are considering or planning on adding support to the website and infrastructure to allow people to choose the currency they would like to shop with. Based on that and we also know they are working on redesigning the site right now with many new things planned coming for this fall, presumably the website redesign and new features such as local currency pricing may appear at that time or some time later I imagine.

So for the most part "why" doesn't really matter much, but a good an answer as any is "because they haven't implemented something like that and made it available yet", but going from their past comments it appears to be on radar for the future.

lol. fairy nuff. We like Russell so that's fine. Go the Bunnies! Still, if we have both Glatiator and Wolverine, the rest of the world will have nothing to show us as different. They will think you are just another state. Brotown, Island state of Down Under. Or possibly Middle Zealand. Where the Hobbits came from? With the long white cloud. It's a real slice of heaven bro.
