Sometimes we see games with prices that just cannot be correct. It's usually a matter of regional prices and a typo, probably, but with the long support queue we need to draw attention so Gog can move faster to correct them. Post here games that have prices that should be corrected by Gog before anyone buys it.

Note: I'm not talking here about games that come here with higher prices than on Steam/Epic (the "DRM-free tax"). Those are not the fault of Gog but a decision of the publisher and should probably go to, uh... maybe the 2nd class customer thread?

Games should be here if a regional price for a region of lower prices is higher than the base price or a price drop doesn't get reflected in every region. (Or if the base price is bizarrely higher than it should be in a way that can only be explained by a "whoops meant to type $5 but typoed $55", tho I can't say I remember it happening for any game for longer than a couple minutes)

I just ask of those that post entries here that after Gog corrects the price they edit their post to inform that the situation is solved.

====================================================================

First game I can think of is Ori and the Blind Forest . According to this post, the game's base price dropped from $19.99 to $4.99 ... yet in the BR region the drop didn't follow. If I were to buy it now I would spend $11.38 .

Gog I understand this is just a mistake. Please correct it.

Edit: Partially corrected. Gog lowered the BR price equating it to the base US price ($4.99) . However it seems strange that this game alone lost the regional price, so there's the possibility that the game should have maintained a price lower than the base US price and Gog made a smaller mistake. (Or the employee that edited it didn't have the authorization to set a new price but put base as a temporary fix and forwarded the issue to the appropriate person)

It's the same price as it's on steam. Although Gog has been mistaken numerous times, this time it's doesn't seem so.
But, let me remind at least two cases with prices disparity not yet corrected:

Yooka-Laylee Buddy Duo Bundle GOG R$ 200,48 x R$ 121,53 Steam
Expeditions: Conquistador GOG R$ 103,63 x R$ 34,99 Steam


edit: Well, my mistake haha, they changed Ori's price.

Then someone at Steam should alert them that their price is wrong. Gog just lowered the BR regional price to $4.99 , which shows that indeed that higher price wasn't intended. (Thank you Gog)

Tho I think it is still not correct. If we assume that THQ Nordic didn't suddenly decided to remove the regional price of this specific game, then we should assume that they wanted to keep the same rate (56.9%) from before the price drop. If the game's price fell from $19.99 to $4.99 the BR price should drop from $11.38 to $2.84, not $4.99 .

I'd put the price in reais too but I didn't capture the original brazilian price so I can't calculate the conversion.

Yes, my bad, I just edited my previous post. It seems Microsoft (Xbox Game Studios) still is the publisher on steam, or maybe THQ just didn't have time to change that info.
