What?
You understand that gog is DRM-free right?

GOG has no DRM, so, there's no region lock. You might have a different price in your region, but they might offer you store credit if you're paying more! Check the answer number 6 in this FAQ.

Who exactly will offer me store credit? I'm kinda pissed about the fact that their motto is equal prices, but Witcher 3 with all the discounts costs 46 euros here and i heard that to some guy from Argentina it costs 34$, i'm not from a rich country, we are actually quite poor, and full priced games are a huge hit on the budget so this entire thing is really unfair and hypocritical while claiming you care about the consumer and equal prices. Yes, i know there is VAT, but its still pretty unfair and VAT isn't that high to justify it.

GOG will. Did you read that FAQ I linked? They are talking about what you're complaining about. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but you could try contacting them to have it sorted out.

Well they aren't actually giving everyone store credit, you have to beg for it. Don't get me wrong, i'm not above it, but they should give it to everyone.

Oh, and also it says regional pricing is done on request of the publisher, but they published Witcher 3 themselves, the prices are their own doing.

Like I said, I don't know how it works, but there's no begging involved. They offer it, you can take it or not. Again, I recommend you contact them to sort it out.

Yes, you're right on this second one. That would be a good topic to inquire them about.

Gog games don't have drm (they don't have steam/origin/uplay, etc). If you have Witcher 3 on steam don't buy the expansion on gog because you won't be able to use it (they don't provide steam keys). However if you have the retail or gog version which are drm free go ahead, you should be fine.

Yes, but it don't work this way with Witcher 3. They'd make less money :D

Wait a year, Enhanced Edition half priced and all copies (+old ones, if they keep their normal way, though they didn't have DLCs before I think) will be GOG-redeemable. I feel bad for console users :D

I know ;) Plus I don't like to act as beta tester, so I won't buy any game before I consider it as more or less bug free.

And 1 & 2nd didn't have DLCs, just patches which added some stuff to the game.

Is The Witcher 2 the last high-budget not-made-in-the-living-room game in gaming history without at least 2 game-priced DLCs?

GOG is DRM free, but that doesn't mean that keys for other platforms aren't offered. It's a good question for those not familiar with GOG, as many smaller seeming sites often do give you a selection or are for specific platforms. (gog, itch.io, gamergate, gmg, humble etc). While they could have checked on the site itself, they asked here. No need to be so prickly about it.

GOG has cheaper prices for Witcher games since it's owned by CDPR.
They are also launching GOG Galaxy which is their new client, similar to Steam (achievements, game time records, automatic updates, etc.)

They're charging me in USD, whereas Steam charging me in IDR, so it's cheaper to pay in IDR.

Apparently none for SEA so far. Understandable since it's new there in GOG. But they need to give weaker regions their own regional pricing suitable for the situation, or their business won't improve.

GOG games are not region-restricted.

As for the expansion, it will only work with the retail copy of the game, not the Steam version.

Are gift codes not locked either? (Not talking about witcher 3 here, since it's disabled for this one). Does it matter if the game is regionally priced or not?

No DRM => you can travel to any part of the universe and your GOG copy still work. Also you buy a copy from Kamptchatka and can send as GIFT to a friend in Ushuaia.

Only if you are German. And only for Commandos, the store will not show all games there.
"Wir mussten für Nutzer aus Deutschland zwei Spiele aus unserem Katalog unzugänglich machen: Commandos Ammo Pack und Commandos 2+3. Diese Spiele anzubieten oder zu bewerben ist nach deutschem Recht eine schwere Straftat. Wir müssen diesen Gesetzen folgen, um rechtliche Schritte gegen GOG.com und GOG.com-Mitarbeiter zu vermeiden. Wenn du das Spiel bereits gekauft hast, wird es natürlich nicht aus deiner Bibliothek verschwinden."
In other words: you are fine.
