Yeah, the price did seem high to me as well.  I think they did it for parity with the physical version that was only released in the Middle East/Southeast Asia.  For me, it is worth it though.  It's an interesting concept, and something I was looking forward to playing since first seeing that trailer.  I downloaded it Friday night, and I've been playing it all weekend.  It's too early for my profile to show anything but "First played 4 days ago", but I suspect I've put in 10 hours or more already.  And, my save file says I'm only 16% through the game.  So, the gameplay does have me hooked.  I know it's cheaper on Steam, but the portability is important to me.  If I got this on PC instead, I'd barely have time for it.  On Switch, I was able to play it in the car going back and forth to a show on Saturday, while visiting family on Sunday, on lunch break at work yesterday, while walking my dog in the park with my wife, etc.  I'm okay with shelling out an extra $20 bucks for that convenience.

...has this thread been abandoned??? I haven't seen or heard any updates in a LOOOOOONG time - I've quit adding games to the thread for now, as it seems like it's no longer being maintained. :(

Update 11:

Steam World Dig (digital)

Steam World Dig 2 (digital)

Blossom Tales (digital)

Edit since I'm the last post in the thread currently: Do the Bayonetta games count as third Party? If So:

Bayonetta 1 (digital)

Bayonetta 2 (physical)

I think that's all I bought so far in 2018 as far as thrid party goes...I need a spreadsheet.

Yeah - I think this is officially dead at this point. What a shame...   :'(
