Great Scientist Cost increases upon building Hubble Telescope

This may not be a bug, but seems weird to me. The Great Person Point costs of great people no longer go up upon purchasing them with faith or producing them with wonders (I believe it used to go up several patches ago). For example, building a Porcelain Tower does not increase GS cost in terms of Great Scientist Points. I assume that the program is hardocoded to decrease the GS cost upon their generation via wonders or faith purchase (after initial increase that carried over from previous mechanic). And when Hubble Telescope generates two GS, the cost reduction is only applied once. Whatever the mechanic, I wonder if this cost increase is intended.

Haven't tested whether this is the case upon generation of One GE and One GS via Spaceship building Order policy. I will test this and update it here. If someone has this information, please share.
 
Pretty sure GS cost still increases when a GS is generated by wonders, includimg PT, Hubble, and Pisa, or by the Order level 3 tenet, or the Mayan Long Count, or the Liberty finisher, but I'm on the road and can't reconfirm right now. Only exception I know of is the GS Bablyon gets when it researches Writing. What you my be recalling is that Great Artists were put on a different counter from the combined GS/GE/GM counter in BNW.
 
Oh you are right. The GP costs go up after getting them from wonders.

Working as intended.
