Don't get me wrong, i think Alex Jones is out of his tree, but remember how we make fun of conspiracy theorists regarding wearing tinfoil hat to avoid mind control rays? You know, those people who believed government was trying to perform mind-control experiments? Turns out they weren't completely nuts, just a little nuts. Do I think that CERN is full of Satan worshipers whom like to open up portals to the other side and commune with demons on how to destroy humanity? No. Do i think there might be one or two people working there who are totally hoping that it happens? Maybe. Do i think CERN is full of people who are in over their heads and could end up accidentally causing a major catastrophe? Maybe. Do I think CERN overestimates what they have accomplished and are capable of doing to get funding from people who think they're going to discover the other side (which probably doesn't exist)? Absolutely.
One of gog's promises is not regionally pricing a game.

Was. Past tense. GOG have done regional pricing for a good while now. I don't remember which game was the first, but by now it's more likely than not that a game has different prices around the world.

However, regional pricing does not necessarily mean that GOG accepts the local currency, and USD is always available as a choice, regardless of which other currency options you may or may not have.

IIRC one of them was Divinity: Original Sin, and there were two others. That was back in Feb 2014.

That's reason for concern. Has there been any explanation of why they changed their minds and what their arguments were for going against a promise?

Probably to explain to them why there is no Japanese storefront on GOG as of yet. Or she's the seed from which the Japanese version of GOG will sprout (If I remember correctly, there was also a support member for Brazilian speakers, before the introduction of the Brazilian storefront).

The payment processor we use added that about a decade ago. For us, it was more of an issue with who eats the fee, the corporation or the customer? And if we do enough in transactions with that form of cash to justify it.

Yeah, I know sometimes conspiracy theories turn out to be true or have some truth in them. But things are just getting ridiculous and some conspiracy theories can actually be explained, the "world depopulation plan" being one of them.

But of course, this is off topic... :P

That's what I'm thinking.
It'd be a shame if they keep waiting to implement Spanish-language support, but I can see why they might want to (or have to) stagger out introduction of support for the big languages (in terms of number of native speakers) in favor of going after some (profitable) smaller markets that might also open up more business opportunities [EDIT:} with regards to acquiring distribution rights for new games.

Thank you. This was what i was afraid of. I wonder if the same argument can be made for DRM in the future.
I don't know about you, but "Government mind control experiments" is pretty far out there, which is why we use the people who believed in that as examples when we make fun of conspiracy theorists. The term "tin foil hatters" is the most ironic reference when it comes to conspiracy theories, since it's among the ones that turned out to be true. Whenever you hear something that makes someone sound ridiculous, rather than making a logical argument why something most likely is not so, then you should question whether or not it's true, because the ridiculous has come true on more than one occasion.
