I bought the Darksiders games on GOG yesterday for Canadian price of $5.48 CAD. If I had paid in USD like before, I would have paid $6.52 CAD. That's is over $1 difference, almost 20% off, which considerable savings I think.

To be fair, the savings usually aren't as high as that. Usually most other games seem to be priced at $1.25 CAD per USD, but paying $6.22 CAD would still be better than paying $6.52 CAD, so I'm not complaining.

lol I laugh at how the fan bois rushed to try and cage this entire thread as me being unreasonable that GOG was perfect and that by what gall I had to even start such a thread? And what do you know GoG MATCHED pricing with steam in Canadian funds.

Gee maybe if you w@nkers were not in such a frenzied fan boi mode you would have realized I was doing GoG a SERVICE by letting them know there prices were NOT competitive with steam. And they agreed which is why they matched their prices.

Seriously the rabid mindless knee jerk responses to defend GoG don't help GoG. There is zero reason for GoG to simply write off Canada as a market to steam and they realized this and changed their pricing to match steam. But I am sure I am still the bad guy because you know I don't think Gog is right 100% of the time and have the gall to post such a fact based concern that was easy to verify on these forums. Who need facts when they are inconvient to people's personal narrative.

To GOG...

Thank you very much I am glad that you have match prices with steam and will continue to do business with gog as there is every reason to do so and no reason not to now.

They didn't match their prices with Steam. They matched one games' price to Steam because some of their customers asked for it and the devs/publisher agreed to. As an example Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition is 59.99$CAN on Steam and 75.49$CAN on GoG, but you don't seem to have noticed that.

On a side note, I don't think everyone here thinks GoG is perfect. Most people are not white-knighting for GoG. They just have a different perspective and they decided to bump your thread and talk to you about it. I guess it would have been better to let it die, so your eyes wouldn't have been tired by the lowlifes' words on your world changing thread...

By the way very happy for you, GamingRant and Canadians because you'll be able to play a game you want at a more palatable price. For me, it's still too high for a game I feel I lack gameplay information about.

Looks like it's gotten a lot better lately.
I checked all the games you mentioned, all have been lowered to match steams CAD price. Checked a few more myself, and all also the same as Steam.
For games not on steam, they seem to have given a far better dynamic FX rate too, EG: Heroes 3 complete: $10 usd = 10.59 at today's interbank rate, $10.29 on gog.

I checked most of the games mentioned in this thread too, all same except the last mentioned: DYING LIGHT ENHANCED EDITION.. But to be fair, they are giving canadians a mega deal by only charging a 1:1 rate (It's $60, or $60 cad on steam). When in reality the US dollar is worth %36 more today.

Keep on mind on Steam publishers can set whatever regional pricing they want. So that's not steam doing that to be nice to canadians, that's the publisher. (almost every other $60 usd game on steam is $80 cad)

Not sure about how GoG handles that, but they were cool on all the other things, so it might be simply the publisher who's controlling that.

Gog also has the advantage for us of 1 click easy changing the currency we pay in. So it's not like this is forced upon us either, you can still pay in USD if you want. Where as for Steam, not so much.. You have to change your entire accounts region to pay in USD, which is easy to do, but they have various restrictions on it so it's not something your allowed to do a lot.

(Necro ya, but this is still the top google result/most posts on the subject today)

Yes, it got a lot better.

Also, when you see that there's a price difference between steam and GOG, make sure to let the devs know. They do, sometimes correct the "mistake".

Btw, this thread is 4 years old. :D
