It's been a long time since GOG adjusted the exchange rates. The difference between my nation's currency and the U.S. dollar has improved significantly, so I wonder if GOG has decided on a fixed rate for all currencies and no changes will be forthcoming from now on.

You can find all the exchange rates here

Usually GOG updates them every time there is a big sale happening such as Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer sale.

The last exchange rate adjustment was less than a month ago.

GOG generally updates it shortly before major sales. Updates due to major swings in exchange rate are less common and typically occur when multiple currencies need updating.

If you have a card with cheap to no currency conversion costs, I would encourage you to consider paying in USD.

This way you get the benefit of favourable exchange rates and have the opportunity to purchase regionally priced games at a discount.

Some stores work on a monthly average, while some others work on a daily one.

Rates go up and down all the time, but usually not by very much. It can be onerous to track each change, and most stores prefer to deal in close to round numbers when it comes to pricing.

Amazon for instance, change prices constantly, certainly for ebooks, which I monitor. They do it at least daily, and often it is either up a cent or two or down a cent or two, and rarely more than 10 cents. Kobo on the other hand have set prices for ebooks, that rarely change, unless a big currency change has happened.

Most of the time the majority are minor differences and come out in the wash ... balance out. So a store might gain a little benefit, but they are just as likely to get a little loss too.

^ Thanks for all the replies guys. I track the exchange rate with specific game prices and haven't noticed they've changed for a long time. The next major sale should arrive soon and I'll be careful to note if prices are raised or lowered.

I think the games you have been tracking are regionally priced.

Regionally priced games are typically fixed to a local currency amount. What varies with the exchange rates is the price you would pay if you switch the currency from CAD to USD.

This is in contrast to region-less pricing that we have been assuming. Here the USD amount is fixed and the CAD value varies.

Thanks! That explains what I'm finding.
