Yes, you can always do that, nobody will stop you (and you may indeed be lucky enough to find a - probably Russian - account with DOS2 on it). But then all of your money will go to that reseller and nothing to Larian, so they will have less money for support or for developing future games. If all people in Poland do that, then Larian's statistics will show that it has sold no copies of the game in Poland, which makes it even less likely that they will ever add Polish translations.
But as I said, if that's the way you want to go to purchase this game, then you can definitely do that.

... so your track is: Larian sells DOS2 to Russians without any earning . And that is ok for you, but problem is when Polish want to buy a game from Russian... pity... and the problem is with Polish...not Russians, not GOG/Steam pricing, not with publisher ...very, very pity...

You know, that's a good point, actually... as far as I know, after deduction of taxes and Steam/GoG's share, usually a little less than 50% of the sales prices goes to the developer. So from the full Steam/GoG price (~200 PLN) Larian would receive approx. 100 PLN. From the Russian price (~50 PLN?), they would receive approx. 25 PLN. That's a significant difference (especially given how much money they put into this game), but you're right, they should still receive a share of the Russian sales, and they would receive that same small share if you got the regional pricing in Poland that you are requesting, so there's no difference there.
My point about how this would affect sales statistics in Poland (and thus possibly the willingness of Larian to do a Polish translation) still stands, though. If you want these sales to count as Polish sales, then I really can only recommend to wait until the salesprice of this game in Poland is lowered to a price that you're willing & able to pay for it. If that doesn't matter to you, then sure, go ahead and buy it from a Russian reseller. It definitely is a much better option than just playing the game without paying for it, as the OP suggested.

Quite frankly I do not get what the problem is. Yes The Centaur's argumentation with the reseller is REALLY weak since even with resellers the game was bought some time from Larian and they got the amount they wanted from the reseller at that time. It is their choice to sell for different amounts worldwide and they have to take the positive and negative sides from this decision.

However the OP does have some flaws as well. You think it is to expensive for poland -> OK I get that. And maybe you do not want the refund GOG offers since you actually have to buy another product and do not simply get a reduced price directly.. But what is your problem bying it from somewhere else? As long as it is a valid key you should simply not care if you buy it in belgium, poland or russia! Simply buy it for a price you see as alright and thats it. Happy everyone! Yes even Larian.

What is absolutely correct is that buying it somewhere outside poland will not count as a vote for a polish language translation thats for sure.

Well, I bought at GOG for 192zł and they returned me 30zł which can be translated to the price 162zł. New games for the premiere are usually 160-200zł in Poland, so I do not know what the crying is about. Just buy forgot the price and enjoy the game or wait a month or two, simple.

But do Larian Polish localization soon please !!!
