For perspective, though, even as soon as it came out of Early Access on PC, Prison Architect was routinely discounted by 75% so the perceived baseline for its cost is much lower. To be clear, it's a great game and nobody should have concerns about value for money in terms of hours-per-dollar, but when you consider everything from UI/controls to performance even before you look at the price, I would be cautious about recommending it on the Switch for anyone with access to a PC until we hear more about port quality, controls, and so on. It's worth $30, and better value than many games that are similarly priced, but the reality is that nobody who gets into it on Steam actually pays that much.
I myself have made a near-total conversion from the PC to the Switch as a primary platform, as I simply put more time into games that way, so I understand if the Switch really does add that much value for a player who wants to buy the game there instead. And some builder-oriented games that seemed designed first and foremost for a mouse and keyboard (I'm looking at you, Stardew Valley) actually turned out to be even better with controller inputs on a handheld, to my surprise. But it's only responsible to inform those interested in Prison Architect that the version on the lead platform, PC, is routinely available at $7.49 multiple times a year, every year.
