Bonjour @gog can you explain why games that are over 10 years old are still priced at their original release price? I don't understand this “sale” principle when a gradual price reduction over time would make pricing easier to understand.
FR:
Pouvez-vous nous expliquer pourquoi des jeux de plus de 10 ans sont toujours au prix de sortie ? Je ne comprends pas ce principe de "soldes" alors qu'une baisse de tarifs au fur et à mesure du temps permettrait une meilleure compréhension des prix.

Because fuck you, that's why.

Mostly it's because we buy them at those prices. 🤷

If you've got Amazon prime then the GOG version of Civ 3 and I think 4 is available through prime gaming as a subscription bonus https://www.amazon.com/prime-gaming

Edit: sorry looks like they've cycled those off. All I can see is civ 6 on epic store at the moment. There is fallout 1 and some DnD games available for GOG though.

Tiens, Gog va se faire manger par Amazon :/ dommage, ça aurait pu m'intéresser une offre de cloud gaming par Gog. (même si j'aimerais un comparatif changement de machine/service de cloud en terme écolo avant de dire que c'est un service qui m'intéresse)

Je crois c'est un arrangement temporaire avec GOG et Amazon. Je le disais juste parce que j'ai récupéré gratuitement d'anciens jeux video Civilization, et que beaucoup de gens utilisent Prime.

Edit: you can tell I gave up on my remedial knowledge of French halfway through writing this comment and used a translate app lol
