Inin is part of United Games Entertainment (Germany) along with Strictly Limited Games and Rocket Games. That's who set the digital price of Osman Cannon Dancer at $29.99. That's actually two dollars more than the physical Japanese multi language version sold at Play Asia. I can understand how the OP would be upset by this. Digital versions should not be more expensive to buy than physical versions. Then again, how many new games released both digitally and physically see the physical version enjoy price drops while the digital version stays at MSRP, so maybe this isn't anything new to digital game buyers. What I found odd is that the physical version of Osman was available before the digital edition. I prefer it the other way around so that the digital buyers can find all the bugs and glitches that can be fixed before the physical edition is pressed. Yeah, I'm kinda selfish that way. Some say it's a mental illness.
I used to buy quite a few physical Hamster arcade games on the PS2 under the Oretachi Gesen Zoku label. They were only $20 each and I thought they were a great buy! Now, Hamster Arcade Archives sells enhanced roms of old NES and NEOGEO games to download for $8 each. That seems expensive to me too.
