That's regionally specific then, because they sure as hell don't do that where i live (EU member). They have to compare with non-sale price within a month or something, so it's complete bullshit here because they artificially inflate prices prior to black Friday "sales".

Canada is my favorite member of the EU

Guess I've just chosen the right country to point my VPN to then :)

Sounds sweet, which country is it

Actually I just checked GoG without going through a VPN (from work) and I see the same "Lowest price in the last 30 days before discount" information, so maybe GoG just does it for all of Europe or maybe even always.

In other words, I don't think is going via na IP in that specific country that's doing it.

It's probably just something GoG does, since we have it in the states too.

One more reason to, when having the choice, prefer GoG over the rest.
