Terrible regional pricing, $10 cheaper on GOG and DRM-free
Why is the steam version $33.99 in Canada when the GOG version is $24.39? It doesn't make any sense. Assuming the content is the same, the GOG version is better since it's DRM-free.

Does the Steam version have more content or something? Why is it $10 more expensive?

Only the Steam version has achievements, if this matters to you. None of WayForward's games have Galaxy achievements. The game is pretty short (sub 10 hours) and achievement hunting might add some much needed replay value.

I don't see how achievements add a whole $10 value lmao if that's it I'll happily buy the DRM free version for cheaper. It's a win win.

The $10 difference must be an error. The price is identical in my region.

I don't really understand. Clicking the "gift this order" in Gog sets the price to the regional price adjusted amount of CAD $29/30 (can't remember) so it should still be cheaper there regardless of region.

No matter, getting it from Gog for $24 is the clear choice if you're in Canada.

Strange you sure its not just a pricing error? Because they're both the same price on my end but I live in Australia and don't fully understand the price conversion rate in Canada.

Also the only reason to really buy it on steam would be for the achievements since GoG has DRM-free which is amazing.

I'm from Europe and I for me GOG and Steam prices are only a few cent difference. Maybe some taxation thing in Canada?

Tax isn't included in the price in Canada. It's applied separately.
