Wow, I will envy PS4 and Switch users from now on. I have an Xbox One instead, aside from my PC. ---

If we already have the digital version, can we get the empty box for free? šŸ˜ƒ (Just kidding, but I do like that box.) ---

They seem to be available on Limited Run Games only, just as the boxed copy on fangamer has been. Iā€™d love to see the cartridge of the Switch edition. Is there a picture anywhere? ---

Just out of curiosity šŸ¤— I was imagIning myself going into my favourite game store and spot Thimbleweed Park between Far Cry 5 and God of Warā€¦ and listening to my little cousin saying: ā€œZak!

Oh, here usually the kids go, pick up the box, cry in front of their parents doing the whims, they give a quick look to the box colours and then they pay. Rating? Whatā€™s that? What is it for? (Not all do it that way, but most do). ---

An extra fee to rate a boxed version of a digital game?! Thatā€™s ridiculous! šŸ˜  > [@RonGilbert](#): > > I also think there are region free issues if they are in stores. Yes, in America it seems thereā€™s no law that requires games to have ratings, but the policy of many retailers says otherwise. ---

> [@tasse-tee](#): > > An extra fee to rate a boxed version of a digital game?! Thatā€™s ridiculous! šŸ˜  Yes. It would be interesting to know in which countries this is actually necessary. AFAIK in Germany your game has to be rated only once. And according to GOG, TWP has an official USK rating of 12. > [@tasse-tee](#): > > Yes, in America it seems thereā€™s no law that requires games to have ratings, but the policy of many retailers says otherwise. Itā€™s not only the rating: In Germany there are regulations of how you have to present the rating on the box. And the photo/mockup of the PS4/Switch boxes donā€™t have USK stickers. So you canā€™t sell them in Germany. Beside that, there are only very few video game shops and stores left. Iā€™m not sure if it would be profitable to sell a boxed version in these stores. ---

Yes, there seems to be several publishers for these games in Germany. Here at our Saturn market you can buy ā€œGone Homeā€, ā€œBrothers - A Tale of Two Sonsā€ and several other indie games as a boxed version. ---

According to steamdb.info, these games sold much better than TWP, though. Even Axiom Verge was sold twice as many times. Most people might look for such games in the internet anyway, so offering it via Amazon might be a better idea. But, I agree that it would have been great to see TWP on a shelf in a store, of course. ---

Okay, all three games a few years older than TWP and might have been offered in several sales since then, but this does not imply that the physical copies in the stores have paid for themselves already. ---

IĀ“m also amazed at the amount of indie games that come out for the switch. I donĀ“t remember any time where that ever happened on a Nintendo console before. [Next page](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/boxed-versions-of-twp-for-ps4-and-switch-are-coming/2448.md?page=2)
