        Are you using a direct currency region that was recently added? There won’t be any data for currencies that weren’t tracked, for obvious reasons. You can switch currencies to one of the other major currencies like EUR or USD to see trends earlier than that.

        Also the graph is defaulting to showing 6 months for scale… but you can extend it out much farther with the buttons below the graph.

    Same old prices…bland. Oh and price hikes too. I had to check my order history to compare to find that I paid $.89 for the original Theme Park back in 2016. They want $3 now for it. Screw that.

        What do they charge now? Also, are their “foot"longs still 11”, or have they gotten even shorter?

          It varies, but it’s something like $7.50 to $8. In any case, inflation is a thing. Theme Park was added to the Good Old Games program, which means GOG did real work on it, and it’s not egregious to charge a few extra dollars. Plus, sale percentages are variable; sometimes Dragon Age is 50% off, but right now it’s 60%; this sale might not be a given game’s deepest discount. Are they charging what you’re willing to pay? If I was in the market for Theme Park at $0.89, I’d probably still be in the market for it at $3.

            Inflation, to me, is code word for “I’m going to be greedier”. So, I’m so sick of seeing that word ‘inflation’ being thrown around so much because it’s just excusing and justifying the greed.

              You’re free to believe what you like, but it is real. The cost of an input (electricity, server components, employee salaries, etc.) goes up, and the cost of what a company produces has to go up as well.

        1.49 is honestly not a bad bargain either. But, this just highlights where sales have degraded to over the past five years.

      Yeah, not buying anything from a company that can’t even do as little as saying “Nazis bad” after sending out SS symbols.

      All they did was a non-apology and attempts at gasligting by saying it’s their heritage.

      Not that I saw. I won’t buy from them at this point. Anyone who purposefully posts the SS doesn’t get my money.

      Depends on your definition of “make good”.

      After the first disastrous comment on reddit they issued a second one on Twitter which sounded like the first one should have in the first place.

      But that’s all and they didn’t address it inside the newsletter, so for me it’s empty words without really addressing the deeper issue of how much somebody in GOG fucked up.

        Just context for people since I had to look it up myself.

        First bad apology.

        Second bad apology.

        Neither statement actually says Nazi or Faccism is wrong. Literally the one thing that would help them right now, and twice they failed to do it. The GoG forums are full of folks saying this has been a known problem for years that hate speech was not being moderated.

        Sooooo, yeah. It’s pretty disappointing. Not sending it to Germany (where it is illegal and punishable) but then okaying its use for rest of the world is a WILD explanation. Y’all get how that is worse than if it was some “some rogue intern” being a dipshut, but speaks to a company side problem.

        I’m sure af not going to buy GoG anymore.

            I think people want to amplify this to justify staying on Steam. “Steam has DRM but at least they’re not Nazis! So I’ll take the moral approach and only use Steam.” When in reality it’s just a matter of convenience but portrayed as a moral decision.

              I think so too, PR could have handled it better (ffs, just say “nazi bad” like 5 times to make it super clear), but it’s not like a known nazi company did a nazi thing, nobody expected this, it was out of context, and they gained noting (I wouldn’t say they thought they would gain anything by ad-targeting nazis … in a newsletter to all, they did have an explanation for it, and they did stop the process midway).

              It does seem like an operational risk from the marketing department.

              I think that we should judge fascists/nazis, but use our heads to assess all counterparties - they don’t have to do a nazi salute to be a nazi or support them, but if they make one then it better be accidental & with no (immediate or prior) context.

          Yep, I send an email to support asking about it and they said they can’t tell me more than the second apology and quoted it.

    Been waiting for Slay the Spire and Undertale sales on GoG. The history shows those have not been on sale in GoG for years now or whatever.

    I guess they will never come.

    And also hoping to one day be able to get Slay the Spire 2, Balatro and maybe Deltarune in GoG…
