Nintendo Switch
I was patiently waiting to get this on Nintendo Switch when it goes on Sales
(since for some reason the Switch Version is more expensive than the Steam Version)

Finally the day came when this came on sale on Nintendo Switch.
And the price after Sale was applied was the same as the Steam Version price, without any sale.

word ?

I'm not complaining but I kinda do not understand it.

Well... it really is a matter of who makes the price and what they need to consider about it.
If the Devs want a certain amount of money per sale, Steam wants a share, but Nintendo wants a bigger share, the price will be higher on the Nintendo platform. Could also be because of the extra work of creating the port to Switch, that the devs themself raised the price.

On the switch you can play it on the go,
so it has become a "different" product with new ways/circumstances of usage.
That is a bonus feature that the steam version does not have (from the get-go)

The Switch version has the DLC included.

Devs set the base prices, especially for Digital-only sales.

The Switch Version has all DLC included, so it's actually cheaper.

Otherwise it's the same as when we get PC ports of games from Consoles many years later. Why was Disgaea priced at $25 when it's more than a decade old? Why are Final Fantasy games between 3-12 priced anywhere from $15-50 despite most of them being over a decade old? Cause it's a new port on a new platform, and the developers know people will pay extra money just to support the new version.

On Steam this game is 15€ + 5€ outsider DLC.

On Switch there is only the 20€ Ultimate Edition, that already contains the outsider DLC.

So really, it's the same price. Please do your research before complaining.:squirtheh:
