It's not so easy.I am not taking sides, but I believe in first sale doctrine - once you sell something to me, you can't tell me what I can do with it, though I know that happens.
So you will bash CDPR Lostforever calling them liars and such, when their business practices are miles above the likes of EA, or ubisoft.
You call this a minor misstep? As far as I am concerned they lied and they still sort of do. This is from gog.com front pageI have to laugh at people who will bash the hell out of GOG if they make a minor misstep but blindly support Steam, Origin or Uplay at the same time, now that is Hypocracy.
They didn't say that everyone should pay the same price. They just said that noone should overpay. If the current market prices are overpaying imho is open to debate.You call this a minor misstep? As far as I am concerned they lied and they still sort of do. This is from gog.com front page
"Everyone should be treated fairly and not overpay for purchases just because they reside in a different part of the world"
They don't follow that anymore so why is it still on their front page?

Ok, so what I am taking out of this is… "We did business with CD Project in the past. They won't distribute their new game through us. We don't like that, so we will get the keys from some other sources and sell them, because we have the right to sell your game against your wishes".
If they had a legal right to sell Witcher 3 a claimed, they should sue CD Project due to breach of contract. But I suspect they don't have a legal right and whatever agreement they had was nothing to do with Witcher 3.
Whatever the truth is, what GMG is doing is shady as hell and probably illegal.
Language is a wonderful thing. It all depends on the definition of "similar". It's not the same as "same", obviously. Similar with regard to exchange rates? Similar with regard to costs of living?A reasonable interpretation of that quote is that we should all pay similar (because taxes) prices regardless of where we live in the world.

The beauty of marketing lies in its skill to make you think they said something without saying what you think they said.
This is indeed true and that goes to the heart of what I have been saying. We should not give free pass to Gog.com since they are slowly going the way of other big players in the market. They are long way away still but these are all early warning signs.
While this may be true, I argued against you claimig that they've lied. That imho is wrong.This is indeed true and that goes to the heart of what I have been saying.
