IMO - the value stays the same - it's just the price that usually drops ;P.

Personally I respect GOG because of the fact that I can easily play the gameplay classics on my modern hardware, a unique service really. I would never even begin to give a publisher the idea that I would pay more than their currently ridiculous prices, for removing something that needn't be there in the first place.
I am currently getting more pleasure out of discovering Arcanum at $6 than I did from a RRP Dragon Age, for example.
And, quite frankly, I do not believe that any current or future games deserve to be listed alongside the vast majority of games sold on this site. It would be like doing a joint art exhibition of Damien Hirst's work next to Rembrandt. Jarring and pointless.

I am opposed to this. What makes gog so great are the fair prices to good games,also accessable for people who don't have too much money.
If the prices get higher, the companies will misuse it and destroy the little hope of DRM free games in future.
Just look at Steam how EA, 2k and Ubisoft hold their games.

a $14.99 price point isn't too expensive. hell $20 isn't too expensive.

And $30? Does that sound cheap to you?
There are people who don't have money growing out by trees.
I think this site is good with the 9,99$ formular.

I spend $60 on an impulse buy, I have a steady job. this site is aimed at old school gamers, or casual gamers, but not at little kids who wouldn't keep a job or have a steady flow of income. I have over 50 games from GOG and over 200 games on steam, I also have a handful of games on d2d, gamersgate, and impulse.
$20 is nothing.

Then you can count me in.
I also have over 200 games on steams thanks to special offers, but only out of the long years being on steam.
But I am a student. My sallery(pocket money) is really low. I can't do any job because my leg is suffering under osteochondrisis dissecans(look it up), and after my exam I have low chances getting a job while on university. Studying will also be expensive.
To sum it up, I am fucked.

I don't really understand what's wrong with the prices GOG has now. The cool things is that they are nice even on the Polish market. CDP releases a lot of games in their Classic series, for 20zl, which is 6.6USD. And we get a game, or a few games, in a box.;]
On the other hand, more than 10 bucks for let's say Space Quest 1-5 seems a bit odd today.;]

Well said. The games don't deserve to be treated as devious good, those classics especially not. Piracy proved that too expensive games would reverse the opposite than supporting gog.
Also, if you want to support gog that desperately, SPREAD THE WORD!

The way they are treated and they way they are sold are two different things.;)
There are a lot of reasons for piracy, price is only one, mentality is the other, and a game being sh..ty is one of the countless other reasons.
GOGs games are worth more than 10 bucks, sure, but The GOG Effect is all about a good price for a good game. It's like never ending Christmas, and since GOG is still operating, and expanding, that means they do make a profit.;)
A higher price would put off many people, a lot of my friends are interested in GOG [mostly due to the appealing prices, even You need PayPal, or a credit card], i even managed to pull some of them to the site. I see this from the perspective of my country, where we don't get paid as well, and games are friggin' expensive, hardware too. GOG is great place to obtain some of the best games out there, and the price is just right.
Cheers:)
[edit] Oh, my sympathies for the leg. I have osteoarthrosis or something like that, bending over has bad results. Remaining in one position too. Being an IT guy, it really sucks. [/edit]

Well, opening up for prices lower than $5.99 would be awesome because some games, may have a lot of value, but I find it questionable to pay $5.99 for a 14mb game. Something like a $2.99 or even $3.99 would be more acceptable, even if it is just a two to three dollar difference. Most people don't seem to have problems with that, except if they introduce a lower price point, they will have to introduce a higher price point as well. $14.99 is a fairly reasonable price point, as it would allow GOG to sell games that otherwise would not be sold through the service.

You are missing the point. They will not abandon the $6 and $10 price points and you can continue to but those games. However, a $15 and $20 price point for DRM free games would put a pretty nice dent in the Steam controlled digital downloads market.

Also, they will include a cheaper price point of about $3.99! :D

Well, I am still cautious about it. Who knows what dragon awakes if gog makes that happen.

I'm fine with higher and lower price ranges as long as they're fair. Currently each Heroes of Might and Magic game sells for $10 each. If they sold all 3 games for $20 as well, I can see that being a good for for GOG.com to make money. I just don't want them to start selling games that are a year or two old with the $20 price tag because I would rather see them focus on much older games. There's already so many other places where I can get games that are only 1 or 2 years old.
And if this means that they can start selling really old games for an even lower price, then that would be great. I'd probably buy way more games that are really old like Personal Nightmare if they were sold for $3-4 instead of waiting for a sale to buy them.
