ZFR: Interesting. That's news to me; I thought it's either USD region price or cheaper local region price for these countries. Had no idea they pay EUR region prices for some games.
Incidentally, do you know if they're getting the fair price package reimbursement for those?
yes, they do
But as nice as the fair price package thing is for us customers, it still means the publishers are screwing us with unfair prices. Just that GOG covers for us and takes the loss while the publisher are gleefully counting their money :p

ZFR: Consider the example you gave on Steam. You're paying 49TL for Hellblade, while someone paying in USD pays 30USD, the equivalent of 105 TL. Someone from the EU pays Euro 30, which is the equivalent of 120TL, which might make them understandably pissed that someone from USA or Turkey is paying less for the same product.

While this is generally true, many regions do get locked regional prices that are never readjusted not affected by the fluctuation. For regions like Russia, this is in fact the norm rather than the exception.
I'd rather live in the EU and pay EU prices than live in Russia and pay Russian prices. Since people in the EU can afford to move here, be onepercenters but don't, they must agree.

That being said, the prices for high-spec games are definitely unfair. Someone who has a PC which can run Hellblade can easily pay the US price for the game.

GOG's USD/RUR exchange rate is regularly adjusted. Sometimes they don't list it in the General announcement for some reason (doesn't correlate with the direction of the adjustment tho).

muntdefems: Nope, Turkish lirae are not accepted by GOG. As of now, they accept USD, AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, DKK, EUR, GBP, NOK, PLN, RUB and SEK.
That list is out of date -- they recently started accepting CNY, and I remember there having been another currency they forgot to add to that list, too (though the oversight might've been corrected since I noticed it).

ZFR: If my girlfriend cheats on me, it doesn't matter to me whether she did it with 6 or 10 guys. In fact I'd rather she does it with 15; she's still a cheater but at least she made 15, instead of only 6, guys happy.
Assuming they're all going to be happy regardless of whether or not they find out about the 15 other guys...

Anyway, I fail to follow your train of thought. Do you really think it's better that she cheats on 15 guys rather than 6?

Not "on" but "with".

The number of guys would make no difference to me and doesn't make her less of a cheater.

My point was that if GOG cheated by breaking their no-regional-pricing policy they should do it properly like Steam. They're a cheater as it is, and it doesn't make them less a cheater by having a regional prices for some regions and some games only. It just makes it messy.
