Manufacturing, distribution and retailer's profit margin tend to have that effect on products...

All true. I guess it depends on the consumer, and how much money they are willing to spend digital vs. physical.

Absolutely true. Personally I think $29.99 is a cracking price for Shovel Knight as a physical release.

I just find it a shame that these games need to be successful digitally before the developers can consider physical releases. As personally, I will always get a physical version of a game if available, as opposed to a digital version, even if it's cheaper.

However it's a big step to suddenly cut the retailer out of a supply chain which could have implications we've not really thought about at the moment.
