Some people are so pissed by GOG's announcement that there will be regional pricing, that some people have claimed that they will refuse to continue business with GOG.

So my question to such people is: Where are you going to get your games now?
This is an interesting question.

TET said that the same way they would stop people from just "saying they were from russia" was the same as the way they would stop people from pirating their games.

I assume that now a lot more people will be pirating games.
Steam
Mac App Store
Origin
Blizzard Store
Amazon.com
Humble
Groupees

I should be able to find enough games on those places including classics since Steam is picking up so many regularly now. They just recently added the first two Descent games for example.
but doesn't that mean they will not see your post and therefore not be able to reply??? hmm?
Reminds me of all those who claim they vote right wing because they got disappointed by elected left-wing parties making too many compromises with the right wing.
I dare to say, listen to the Word of Jim
:)
I asked a similar question in one of the older threads, but phrased it differently, where will you buy games that are not regionally priced, if you boycott gog.

Desura, Indie Game Stand and Humble Store have plenty of DRM Free games to offer.

Though, I buy from them all and GOG regardless, I like low prices, account tied keys and OST's.

Which is all well and good, but what about the issue of being DRM-free? Humble is the main leader here, but their record lately has been very spotty, what with Steam becoming more of presence there.

It's worth also pointing out DotEMU, which is currently now undergoing a massive 70% off sale for their 7th anniversary. I got Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 and two of their Sega Genesis bundles for almost nothing ($1.50 and $3.00, respectively). And yes, they work very well in WINE on my Mac. :)
New games:

Humble Bundle
Indie Royale
Bundle In A Box
Groupees
Kickstarter


Old games:

DotEmu
DVD-ROM


And I might eventually decide to make my very first purchase on Steam too.
The bar is set rather high for that to happen, but the moment GOG changes pricing for their older games, that bar is already halfway lowered.

I actually have enough games in my backlog that I probably don't need to buy any more ever.

Plus don't most of the places above (not counting bundle sites) not only have DRM but regional pricing as well?

GamersGate
FireFlower Games
DotEmu
ShinyLoot
Humble Store
Steam
Desura
Indie Royale
Groupees
Bundle Stars
The Indie Gala

Just to name a few - it's good that we gamers can choose between many stores. :)
And let's not forget that GamersGate and DotEmu have a bunch of DRM-Free games which are not available on GOG.

Most of them didn't start out advertising lack of regional pricing as one of their main principles.
