Matruchus: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition can now also be added to the regional pricing list.
And no upgrade path for folks who already own the original. Wow, way to overmilk the same cow.

Yeah and not even support for other platforms like mac and linux. It seems that its just another milk cow as you said. Well some people will surely enjoy the two new levels :)

Is gold edition now also regionally priced? Vow two games going regionally priced today.

IAmSinistar: A thread to help me keep my GOGmix up to date. Hopefully it will remain short, with needed updates infrequent.

Part one of List

The above were the known regional-price games to be coming before GOG reversed their policy on such. The ones that arrived post-reverse-reversal are below.

Part two of List

[...]
Could you please number the entries, so that it's easy to see at a glance how many games are regionally priced? :-)

Yes, the previous edition seems to have gone regional priced during that big changeover, when several games left GOG and several others switched to regional.

I did notice there is a coupon for owners of the previous game here, so at least there is a GOG loyalty discount of sorts. But there is no separate upgrade path apart from that, like with games such as Gods Will Be Watching.

Actually its not a gog loyalty discount I read about the discount on steam before and the developers were trying to get the loyalty discount over to gog since they had it on steam already - it seems they suceceded.

Which actually makes owned Gold Edition + discounted Championship edition a lot more expensive than Championship Edition is for new customers ...

Yeah, but you're getting two whole games in that case! Oh, wait...
The discount expires Sep 22, 2015 by the way.
I just noticed something...

http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/ban_all_regional_pricing_from_gog_stick_with_your_principles

GOG has marked this as "in progress"? Unless they are actually planning a U-turn, it's pretty disingenuous to mark this as "in progress".

The fair price package thing, no matter how noble, is not the same thing as banning all regional pricing from GOG. It's not even close.

Eh, a bit of a pain since I have to renumber every time something gets added (GOG doesn't support <ol> tags). But I could give it a try. How do I number entries that encompass multiple games?

As an immediate fix I can include a total count as part of the post. Though I'm still unsure how I count items which are games + DLC.

Sounds more like a "We're trying our best" statement relating to the "Stick to your principles" demand. But yeah, not quite what the wish was about.

I assume you're editing the list directly in the OP, so yeah, a pain, forget that I asked. :-)

Regarding the part I highlighted - it's pretty simple: does the DLC require a separate purchase? If yes, it gets counted separately, at least that's how I'd do it. Alternatively list everything separately, so each entry represents a single title. :-)

I've put a couple basic totals in the main post. It's still slightly ambiguous, since I'm counting Guacamelee as one game, even though it is really two stand-alones with no DLC option to turn one into the other.

You can just count it as 39 since gog counts dlcs as games.

Cheers!

So, in less than a month, we went from 5 items to 39. That really doesn't look encouraging for the future and GOG's statement that they will always strive to get flat prices, or that it's about getting AAa-ish titles on Day-1.
The only titles released with flat pricing in a consistent manner are the oldies/ classics - hmm, it'd appear that GOG once again became Good Old Games for another portion of their customer base.

EDIT: typo and addition.
