  • Apparently it’s got more to do with Publishers not giving GOG the attention it deserves. They don’t opt in on setting up regional pricing.

    Gog could do more I think, like defaulting it to on, and encouraging publishers.

    They could adopt something like a purchasing power parity rates table.

    But I also think that Publishers don’t want to see GOG succeed.


  • They do, but their regions are not aligned with Steam, so for a lot of people in many countries, it’s 3-4 times more expensive than on steam.

    It does not matter for AAA titles, as those scumbags charge the same price across all regions in steam anyway.

    But for many mid tier and indie games, it’s a tough ask to get someone to pay 10% of their monthly income for a game they can get for 3% of their income on steam.

    It’s the only thing stopping me from buying on GOG










  • The learning curve is quick, it has different AI “Storytellers” called Phoebe Basebuilder that can give you a more chill experience.

    And then there is Cassandra Classic for the dev curated experience that is challenging without being impossible.

    And then there is Randy Random for when you absolutely have to have the slavers abducting your colonists get hit by a chunk of Uranium from space.

    Without a doubt, this game has the highest levels of replayability I have ever seen in a game.









  • And we need to start calling it, sucking up economics.

    Also to add to your list.

    • Patriot act, establishment of the surveillance state.
    • Obama betrayal to the Oligarchs.
    • You will own nothing and be happy.
    • 2008 recession and ongoing housing capture
    • America exiting the rules based international order.
    • Climate denial turning into climate-“fuck off, we are a death cult”
    • Growing wealth chasm.
