New all time low on Cyberpunk 2077. There are some others that are close to their lowest. Nothing on my ITAD list is on sale so wallet is staying closed this time.

itad graph shows me prices since january 2026 only :/ i guess i prefer gg.deals

[–] Poopfeast420@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

Below the graph is the full timeline, with zoom options, where you can see the prce going back to launch.

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.

I had to switch region to usa and currency for $t to see whole timeline. Thanks for the tip.

[–] Nytefyre@piefed.social 17 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Wait until you find out what Subway used to charge for a footlong sandwich.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

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.

It varies, but it’s something like $7.50 to $8.

Really? Wow, in my area it's like $12.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like Seattle prices

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Podunk area of Northern California actually.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

That's what the order form says here in Brooklyn, which ought to be more expensive than most locations. Maybe it's because they have to compete with the plethora of bodegas we have.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Please try to stay on topic. Tell me more about Subway sandwiches.

[–] Nytefyre@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 0 points 11 hours ago

Right? It's till cheaper than a coffee. I'd be pissed if it were $15

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The 89 cents were probably on sale too. So the only thing you could say is that the sale is not as good as ten years ago.

[–] Nytefyre@piefed.social 0 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 11 points 12 hours ago

You weren't suppose to do any research on sale prices you dumb consumer! That's not how capitalism works, jeez!

[–] chortle_tortle@mander.xyz 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (4 children)

Did GOG ever make good on the nazi dog whistles they put in that game promo email?

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

It wasn't a dog whistle, it was foreshadowing for the Summer Sale!

[–] afaix@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago* (last edited 35 minutes ago)

Wait, what? Have so been living under a rock? When did they send out Nazi symbols?

Edit: omfg, this was just last week?! Yikes!

[–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 6 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] spy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

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..
