Did you convert your regional price quoted in forints to USD and get $71.40?

This is entirely possible due to regional pricing, e.g. over here it's 2000 RUB ~ $25.5

Where you see regional pricing?

I only see one price, and that's in USD.

I suppose the regional pricing and the payment currency are different concepts.

1) The regional pricing means the price is different depending on the country (or a country group) the (GOG, Steam) system considers you belonging to. I.e. price in Russia seems to be consistently lower than in, say, UK.

2) The payment currency, if we're speaking GOG, is a setting in your account, see "Language and Currency" option. So, if you see USD price, it means you have USD instead of HUF selected there.

Can only select EUR and USD.
I'm screwed. Well, have to wait a bundle then.

In your case it's not regional pricing it's the price in Euro being converted to US Dollar (even though Hungary doesn't have the Euro, CDPR/GOG will assume you would rather pay in Euro than US Dollar in the EU).

That means that if you don't want to pay more you will have to select Euro.

You seriously think 1 EUR = 1 USD?

Nope, EUR costs way more than 1 USD.per unit.

FWIW, when it comes to comparing prices like this one likely culprit is the VAT.

In the US, the price displayed e.g. in stores etc is not the one you pay. It's the base price, before local and state sales taxes.

In Europe, VAT should be included in those prices for consumers. It's also typically higher.

No I don't think that. Please refrain from making such obviously wrong asumptions.

It's how "the industry" treats it. If a game is sold for $60 it will be sold for 60€. The last shop I know of to give you a fair price by converting US Dollar to Euro was GOG but they stopped doing that a few years ago.

What they still do, however, and that is what I was telling you, is converting from which currency they assume you would pay in (for Europe that's Euro). If you'd like to pay in another currency (US Dollar) they will convert the price to that currency. That's why they charge 60€ but if you decide to switch to US Dollar, convert it to $71.40.

And before I write another answer: set your VPN to an US IP address and check for yourself that they price BG3 $59.99.

Regional pricing is a scam. To divide people.

I have no problem with regional pricing, I just think if there is regional pricing, and 99% of the world don't measure things in nonsense (inch/feet), why make the marketiing for the 1%? Say, that 60$ PLUS TAXES. Violá, problem solved.

Taxes, my dude. Wherever you are, digital purchases must be subject to taxes.

Alternately, your bank is charging you a fee based on GOG billing being out of Cyprus, last I saw; some banks charge a nominal "foreign transaction fee". GOG hasn't any real control over that, only your bank does.
