Hello,
your society is in europe is not ?
what about proposing the currency to buy your games ? Why can't we buy them with euro currency ?
thanks for answers

... What's the difference?!
Also, check out the search box before asking questions :) : http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/prices_in_other_currencies/13

I believe GOG was set up by a Polish company. IIRC, Poland does not have the Euro yet.

It appears google will do the translation for you.
but yahoo might do it better

Considering how easy is is to translate between currency, it'd be a simple task to write a greasemonkey script to translate all prices on the website to a specified currency.
Unfortunately prices throughout the site are not easily translatable at the moment, the only one you could easily target is the total on the "My cart" page, it has a class of "sum".
Perhaps if all the prices where marked with a class of "price" instead, it would make more sense.
To add to what Weclock said, Google translates prices, but it caches the currency values for some time (not sure exactly how long) so it might not give you the most accurate translation.

i'd much rather keep it one currency.
Mainly because I know that if they convert it to UK pounds then we'll get stitched up on the prices like we always do. $5.99 will become £5.99.
Whenever there are separate prices in pounds and euros they are always HIGHER, so lets not go down that route...

Also, it's a world wide seller of goods. The American dollar is accepted few places outside of the U.S... but is also used as the standard unit of currency in international markets for commodities like gold and oil. But many other companies, such as Airbus, also list their prices in dollars. So this could be why GOG.com decided to use dollars.

soulgrindr, there's no reason why that should be the case, it should just be a translation of the USD value.
Anyway, I'd rather not have to google to convert it to AUD, when it should be part of the site.

as said in this thread, the general consensus of those who have given their opinion feel that it is best to keep it in one currency. As said in my previous post, many items use the USD as standard, so it (in my opinion) would make the best sense to keep it the way it currently is.
They might want to add a disclaimer however (I hadn't checked if it exists) saying that they are indeed USD and you should check with your bank/credit card company to see if any extra fines will occur due to exchange fees.

I don't particularly care about the general concensus, all I'm asking for is automatic translation between currencies. It's nothing spectacular and very easy to implement, and it'd make my life just that little bit simpler.

Well, perhaps this is one of the laziest questions ever, but why do work when work doesn't need to be done?
I have no idea on how many emails were sent to support over this, so I can't say that it doesn't need to be done, but if the forums are any indication (which they usually aren't) it currently appears as if the majority of users who care to post in these threads don't care. The best way to really get your voice heard by GOG.com devs is to send in a support ticket. They do read the forums, but hardly ever, the majority of their time is actually spent on improving the systems we're using, or setting up installers for games, the like (source).

From my perspective it's just about etiquette.
As I said before, all the team would have to do is replace the image price tags with actual text in an element flagged with a "price" class. If this was done consistently throughout the site users would be able to write their own greasemonkey scripts to translate the prices to whatever currency is desired.
And you wouldn't get that $5.95 = £5.99 problem :)

I understand where you are coming from, and I highly recommend you do contact support with your query. But I liken it to, if there isn't an over whelming need, then it could be put off until later. They are in beta right now, and working on what current features that have been hinted as coming, are probably consuming their resources right now.
They've admitted to working on the EULA and adding a related disclaimer before buying the title, they've admitted to adding a notice saying that peoples banks may charge fees for buying out of country, also they're working on the broken reputation system (probably going to put in a block so I don't get anymore, hahaha), as well as the PM option and updating the GOG.com downloader. The site is very much beta right now, at least the installers work, but best of luck to you if you're actually trying to download it (many people here are over in Iraq using military connections to try to get the files, and it just won't take!).
So, I can imagine they would get to it eventually, if it seemed like it was a feature they actually care for, regardless of ease, but without clarification from GOG.com we can't really tell, and again, the absolute best way to ask for a feature from GOG.com is to SUBMIT A SUPPORT TICKET! (please pardon the caps, I just wanted to emphasize this for ALL readers). Because, as I mentioned earlier as the GOG.com team loves reading the forums, they haven't always got the time.
EDIT:
I really think it'd be kind of neat if the GOG.com downloader also sort of worked like a torrent so I could seed my existing copies of games to people who have purchased the title themselves. Perhaps this would create a better connection speed for others? Not sure, anyway, it's a red herring at best.

If its just a converter then i wouldn''t be so against it. Though it wouldn't be accurate exactly.
If you are running firefox then there are several currency conversion extensions, and these would work on every site. Might be worth a look for now.

A single, little difference, actually. My bank is charging me an extra fee when I'm buying with virtual-but-still-foreign currencies. Like 0.65cts on a GOGame priced at 6$.
Ceci dit, LCL est quand même une banque assez merdique dans l'ensemble (je crois que peu de français me contrediront sur ce point).
