Zambrey did a fantastic post yesterday on the situation of the GOG.com-Team:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/letter_from_the_md_about_regional_pricing/post1510

"Meantime in GOG office:

- What is the situation now, Trevor?
- Hey Monk, not good. They took over three our threads and still raging about regional prices.
- How is that? You said they would be calm by now.
- Yeah but they don't want to accept that. They are bitching about some old videos we made.
- Fcuk, I knew this would be a problem. But it was only PR-stuff, they really took it seriously?
- Seems like it, yes.
- GDoc, you should have put more sweetness in my letter, like we love them and stuff.
- But boss, I did everything you wanted. Anyway, I don't like the idea. I thought that we are the good guys.
- Eh, nevermind. What can we do? Trevor, can we throw any free game at them?
- Well, it could be a problem. You know, the publishers... They want to change their pricing... You know, 1$ = 1EUR...
- They supposed to do that in few months. They want it already? Greedy bastards. What about the Witcher? CDPR wouldn't mind, I guess.
- Sir, Judas reports that 95% of them have it already. It could be not enough...
- You could be right. So promo, then? We have one more Insomnia Sale stashed around, they kinda liked it.
- But last time they created like 30k+ posts in one week, I'm afraid that they will use another thread to complain.
- Fcuk, what else can we do? "


I laughed a lot--- but then I thought:

What the hell would I do to make us, the raging crowd that just wrote over 2000 posts in two days, calm down now?

And yes, I´ve come to an answer: The solution is simple, elegant and would perfectly suitable to your belowed style:
Listening to the second most active wish on community wishlist is what you should do right now!
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/fair_price_regional_price_badge


Such silly discussions like "They will rise prices for classics too" could be stopped with ease with that method and, the most important aspect:
We´d proberbly all get the idea that you are still listening to us!
So: Set that wish on progress and everything could be better. Forfill it, and everything shall be fine.

And: Let us all only judge this progress when we are able to do it---so just meet again in a year or so and then we take a look at the results and might say:

"It was a genius idea to abandon one world pricing. Look at all those games---look how DRM-free gaming has evolved"

Or we might say:
"This was a crap idea. Let us turn it back."

But please: Don´t try to do this now. Just continue living---and meet again for discussion next year!
It's actually a pretty nice idea, user-wise. Jmich has enough keeping the wiki up to date as it is, we can't expect him to also take care of the rest.

That said, publishers probably won't like to have a "we're ripping you off" badge on their gamecard.

At least if that doesnt happen there will be plenty of threads (at least one big one i assume) where people are keeping track of which games are regioned priced etc
