Here in Europe they're forced to show the lowest price of the last 30 days and I was looking at some games in GoG and for several interesting games their Black Friday "discounted" price is €15 whilst the lowest price in the last 30 days is €10.
So the Black Friday "discount" is in fact 50% more expensive than the previous time that game had a "discount" which happenned not even that long ago.
That's regionally specific then, because they sure as hell don't do that where i live (EU member). They have to compare with non-sale price within a month or something, so it's complete bullshit here because they artificially inflate prices prior to black Friday "sales".
I'm in Canada and I see it.
Canada is my favorite member of the EU
I wish we were part of the EU
Guess I've just chosen the right country to point my VPN to then :)
Sounds sweet, which country is it
Actually I just checked GoG without going through a VPN (from work) and I see the same "Lowest price in the last 30 days before discount" information, so maybe GoG just does it for all of Europe or maybe even always.
In other words, I don't think is going via na IP in that specific country that's doing it.
It's probably just something GoG does, since we have it in the states too.
One more reason to, when having the choice, prefer GoG over the rest.
Oh look, another reason why Europe is superior
Most companies have adapted to that by now. The raise the orice for (at least) rhirty days so that it still looks legit.
The one in your example seems like a failure at that.
