It's not even like Switch owners don't have indie options in the immediate future. We're getting all of this in March alone:
Shovel Knight - $25, Out Now, Timed Exclusive
FAST RMX - $20, Out Now, Exclusive
Snipperclips - $20, Out Now, Exclusive
Blaster Master Zero - $10, Out Tomorrow, Exclusive
VOEZ - $25, Out Tomorrow, Console Exclusive
Snake Pass - $20, March 28, Price and Date Parity
These are all quality games that treat the platform and its owners with respect and you can get two of them for the price of RiME. If RiME is counting on desperation from Switch users I can assure you we'll be too busy playing other things to care.
