Hi, quick question.  
Why does the Physical Version cost 5$ more than the digital? I’m gonna get it still because I love collecting stuff, and I love Stranded Deep but I’m not sure why the up tick on the price.

Hi Buzz, sorry for my delay in getting back to you. While a number of factors can go into price differences between physical and digital versions of a game, the physical version would also factor in manufacturing and distribution costs too.
