This is just dirty on Rockstar's part. I can understand a partial download. We should expect that as far as third parties go, buying physical just means that you can use less SD card space to play the game.
I can even understand why bigger games may cost 10 bucks more for a physical copy due to higher capacity cards. Fine, I can deal with that as long as digital remains the same price as the other platforms.
What is unacceptable though is using a smaller card (32 gig can fit this game) and STILL requiring a partial download/install and STILL charging 10 more for physical despite using the cheaper cards anyway. This is UNACCEPTABLE! If you want to charge ten more, use the correctly sized cart!
I had no plans for buying this game as I already beat it on PS3, so the mystery aspect has already been spoiled for me. If I were to buy it though, I would go digital as eventually getting an SD card for 3rd party games will pay for itself down the line. I would show RS that I support their games on Switch, but not support their physical release strategy until they do it right (either partial install same price as competing platforms or use a bigger cart).
Like I said however, I have no plans to buy this game anyway. I just hope those that do go digital so they can feel the sting of their poor physical release strategy.

Except they want more people to buy digital because it results in more profit for them.
The only thing you'd be teaching them is that they can get away with stiffing physical buyers, and eventually turn more people towards digital which requires less effort and cost on their part.
