To all those saying it's Nintendo's fault for such a small HDD or saying we need to buy it or lose support, ect. I hate that line of thinking. It's that line of thinking that is bringing all these insane MIcrotransactions in games. You guys continue to let companies do as they please and continue to buy their games in whatever condition they release it in.
I like seeing that most all people in this thread are now refusing to buy this game. I doubt I would have gotten it. Not as much time to game anymore, but it looked like one I might have enjoyed. But I will refuse to buy it for the one reason alone.
1. They are charging $10 more for the switch version, yet not using a big enough cart for the game? WTF is the extra $10 for.
Then there is the whole I want the plug and play aspect. I want the days back of you grab a disc or cartridge and stick it in the system and you are playing instantly. No more of this "mandatory" installs. If one wants an optional one, sure go ahead, whatever. I shouldn't need a mandatory install to just play the damn game. I shouldn't need a day 1 patch to be able play through the game from start to finish.
All of you guys acceptance of "Well games are big now, they all have installs, ect" is what is letting them do it. The same as with micros. Since people keep buying micro's they are not going away. You can hate them all you want, but if you don't talk with your wallet, the companies won't listen. So no, I'm not buying a gimped version of a game on the Switch, just so I can hope for a non gimped version of third parties later. I'm actually making a stand, instead of buying the game anyway and complaining. Hell I woudl love to buy Battlefront 2, but I refuse to due to their Micro situation.

I have to tell you the hard truth that the past doesn't come back, you either get with the times or get out. Once that became a standard it won't revert

And that is the attitude that lead us to these giant madatory installs and microtransactions.

It's factual that the games would fit on a card. It's also a perfectly reasonable stance to expect a physical version of a game to be a physical version, not half-physical and half-digital.
Once again you are taking your defense for third parties why too far.

For my personal leisure I could live with all 3rd parties not releasing on PS4.
And sure it would be better to have the full game on the disc.
But I'm just thinking it is funny to demand that all games that take more than 16GB (on the case of PS4X1 and that is what Switch is asking for, all games take more than that) go for bigger cart buy thinking it is unnaceptable to ask Nintendo for bigger HDD. And in the case of the HDD the cost would be only once, and if the person use downloadble games or want DLC or patches most games will install on the HDD.
For all I care Nintendo can have only 1st party with no DLC and patches, with all games releasing fully on the disc. But then again I'm not complaining of most 3rd parties practices on Nintendo and saying I won't support it and then complaining of the lack of support.

It's not an unreasonable demand when the company is charging $10 more for their game on the Switch than on other consoles saying it's due to the cartridges costing more. The price difference between the smallest cartridge and the 32 gb cartridge is not more than $10, so if we are forced to pay and extra $10 then why is the game not on the biggest cartridge?
If cartridge costs are why the thing is $10 more, then why is digital not $10 less than physical? Rockstar is flat out ripping off Switch owners with teh pricing. They are using the cartridge as an excuse to price gouge some extra money. I have no issue with them charging $10 more for teh game due to cartridge costs, but when they use a smaller cartridge, then it is bullshit.
