c01mhth10ch: I got update on my situation. I came home from work and there it was still showing US prices, when checking out, on game details and so on. But after I removed the game from the cart and then went to main page and added it again it still showed US price until I went to checkout at which point it switched to EU price.

Probably a bug in location detection, but as I said, no VPN's or proxys were used.
Surreal. So you see it as USD but it switches to EUR at checkout. But other people see it in their local currency? Sounds like there are quite a few moths in the mainframe on this change.

Well, now it's EU price everywhere

I was looking forward to this game, DLC day one and preorder bonuses and regional pricing, damn... so bad to consumers. I'll probably get it on sale somewhere, still preferably GOG I guess.

Latest feedback - the USD equivalent reappeared, it's in the same square and right under the 30 days guarantee line, in those small letters. If I put it in my cart it converts automatically from EURO to USD ($54.99). It's quite easy to miss on the gamecard and get a nice shock when you land on the checkout page.
This is officially getting out of hand! Last night I asked a hooker how much and she told me it depends on which country I'm from!

Nasty. And it sounds like the prices do still differ by region.

Between the regional prices, the preorder DLC, and the two different editions, this game really red flags itself off my buy list. About the only other ways is could fail is if it were the first episode of a series, or if it actually contained DRM.

She probably just wanted to confirm her vaccination compatibilities. Besides, don't you get the half-sac/half-off discount?

IAmSinistar: Thanks, that was the missing fifth currency. Are they getting rooked like they usually do?

HypersomniacLive: Surprisingly not, they get US prices.
I weep for Africa, South America and part of Asia - they even have to pay higher than the Swiss who also get the US treatment.
Not going to bother with the EU and neighbouring countries - we're all known to be filthy rich with tons of gold bars under our mattresses :-P
I bet every mattress in Vatican City is absolutely stuffed with gold. ;P

On that note, I wonder what price the guy who claims to be from Kingman Reef gets (I say claims because Kingman Reef has NO human population; it's a square kilometer of barren land in the middle of the Pacific). Probably the same as the guy who claims to be from the Midway Atoll (which, by the way, no longer has any human population either). XD I'm still waiting for someone who claims they are from the Principality of Sealand. ;P
high rated

Yeah, numbered 3, which makes it a triple-"eh?" title. ;)

Niggles: still seems to be showing 39.99 and 44.99usd
Thanks, I had thought they implemented AUD as a pricing option. I'll go ahead and add the figures I have to the GOGmix, and amend them if any corrections come in.
I'm wondering, would some kind of "region lock" (like Steam, for example) follow regional prices?

Ah the great Sovietstar!

Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы,
И Синистар великий нам путь озарил:
На правое дело он поднял народы,
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил!

Skvoz' grozy siyalo nam solntse svobody,
I Sinistar velikiy nam put' ozaril,
Na pravoye delo on podnyal narody,
Na trud i na podvigi nas vdokhnovil!
