Indeed... *sigh*
I've added it to the collection.

Oh GOG, you're no fun anymore...

After watching the twitch stream on this game it looked pretty interesting and fun, so on impulse I bought it at the intro price. Played for a couple of hours and enjoyed it, the graphics were nice, not stunning or anything but combined with an immersive soundtrack it made for a great experience. Game mechanics are not explained at all, you have to fumble around, die alot figure it out for yourself, look up others tips etc and just try to stay alive. It is frustrating when you make it many days but are stumped as to what to do next and die in stupid attrition as you fumble along and have to start over. But I guess that is part of the game play.

My only recommendation is this, if you dont generally like rogue like games, this one is still enchanting enough to offer some entertainment for a few hours, so buy on deep sale sometime. I regret paying as much as I did for the game as it got redundant and boring after a few hours and I doubt I'll play it again.

ahem not exactly. in france, VAT is upon final buyer (aka the consumer)... every other person in the whole chain works with AT-free prices.

miller provides floor vat-free to baker, baker change it into bread and sell it to, lets say, a mart, vat free... the mart adds the vat for end-of-chain consumer. but regarding taxes, accounting and saw, the bread was without vat for even the mart (dunno if i'm clear, sorry)

means a french dev is a provider of some sort of somehow finished goods (well, except ubisoft, which releases beta/alpha as gold status) and dev's publishers buy it from them vat-free. it would sell it to gog vat-free (if gog was end reseller, in france) then i would buy it with added vat from gog.
i dunno how it works exactly if gog doesnt have a fiscal frontend in france/eu then, and as it is digital goods there is no customs import fee or similar.

hope i didnt mess things up more :)

(but, then, knowing VAT is a one sided end consumer burden to consider, you sure can understand my bitterness)

Jesse Cox played this for Fan Friday and it looked strangely captivating.

If you knew anything about basic economics, you'd understand why regional pricing exists. Everything you buy has regional pricing, from cars, to clothes, to movies, to food, to games. Why do you feel entitled to an artificially low price? GOG is already losing money by giving you store credit (so you're not paying the price you should be) and even then, it's still not enough for you. I don't think you'll be happy unless GOG decides to put themselves out of business by giving everything away for free....but then you'd STILL complain because GOG would go out of business and you'd no longer get free games.

Have you considered those of us that live in countries (UK hre as an example) but actually earn far LESS than the average wage in other countries?

Regional prices dont take those into account - nor the other categories that might put someone below the "earner line" that regional pricing is based upon.

Something for you to chew over while you sip your economics perhaps. I'm not havig a go - its both a genuine question and food for thought - for everybody.
