MarkoH01: It is more expensive in Euro on GOG (approx 2 Euros) than it is on Steam as well ... but I don't expect to receive any answer as to why from GOG. Usually these are things they don't discuss with outsiders (aka paying customers) at all.
Yes, how naïve of me! I wonder if Dave Gilbert could talk to them and tell them to stop being stupid, they might listen to him and he's generally very responsive to fans on twitter (which is how I asked him about this earlier this evening).

Wishlisted. Unfortunate timing. My current big-spending-gaming money is being soaked up by Trails from Zero and Splatoon 3 right now.

sysia_GOG: ...
Just a prod - Dave Gilbert (Wadjet Eye) has no idea why GOG is charging £ and € customers more than St**m is. Since this is not something the publisher asked for, can you please shed some light or just fix it?

Maybe gog takes current inflation into account in contrast to steam and Mr. Gilbert? Just a thought.

It doesn't really matter, GOG having a higher price makes them look bad.

Price has been adjusted. It's now the same on GOG as it is on other storefronts.

Thanks GOG for listening.

my name is grompy catte: Why is the base price higher here than the other store for UK customers? GOG, your regional pricing is drunk again.

sysia_GOG: Correct! Fixed, thanks :)

my name is grompy catte: Is the pricing a mistake or a weird decision on the part of the publisher?

EDIT: I asked Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye and he said he didn't specify either price - both GBP (£) prices are automatic ones arrived at by the stores.
So again I ask GOG why they are arbitrarily charging me more than "the other store"?
It's only a small difference for the UK price but I know people in Brazil suffer a much bigger difference (e.g. as much as 3x).
On price conversions that are set by you, you really should be at least price-matching the other store on a region by region basis otherwise it makes you look ridiculous.
Day before the price for the Game was = 11$ and something about 57 cents, today the price is = 7,64$ (I live in Ukraine), so it is very interesting now, and I think to buy the game in near future but not to wait for a big discount!
Sometimes GoG makes interesting decisions good for Customers = Gamers! and it is a good sign!

I second this ... it came unexpected but these kind of surprises are really appreciated! :)
