Enjoy your loot boxes and micros. It's that attitude that we shoudl be "grateful" that they are giving us their game that lets them walk all over you.

Why should we be grateful to a company that is charging us $10 extra dollars for a game for the sole reason that it costs more to be on cartridges. And then for that very said game not be on the larger cartridge that woudl allow it to not need a download at all.

Wouldn't it be great if Pizza places did this. Charge you $10 for delivery and then only deliver it halfway to your house. YOu have to go out and pick it up there.

this isn't about loot boxes or micros. this is about thinking you don't need a microsd for your nintendo switch.

if you're planning on buying nintendo only games, then of course you probably won't need a microsd (for some time anyway).

if you're planning on buying third party games, then i think it's pretty clear at this point that it's a necessity.

this is a matter of storage, not micro transactions. also, it only really effects those who are still set on buying physical versions of games: either as collectors of physical media or as people who are still trying to avoid upgrading their internal storage.

rockstar isn't forcing you to buy the game right when it comes out. if you don't like the price point, then wait until it's cheaper and buy it then. at least it's nice to have the option to pick the game up down the line when it's more affordable, yeah?

maybe "greatful" is the wrong word. maybe i should use a different word that doesn't sound like i care as much. either way, i'm happy that eventually i can pick this game up for switch. 

This is about Rockstar charging us an extra $10 over the other versions with the excuse that cards are more expensive and then not even using the biggest cards. They are price gouging us. They are making a profit on the cards expense.

And like I said, I don't give a shit about the extra charge. I give a shit about the physical version of the game needing a 14gb install.

I buy all my games digitally and would of with this game. I also have a 256 gb card in my switch, so  I can fit this game no problem. I'm refusing to buy this game solely on their shitty practices. The physical version shoudl not have a 14gb install when that could fit on a bigger card, especially when they are charging $10 more for the switch version due to "card price"

There is no way a 32gb card costs $10.00 more than a blu ray version of the game to mass produce, let alone the 16gb card they are using. Thus tehy are making a profit on the cards, yet shafting us out of quick "plug and play" with a mandatory install.

The point is I'm making a stand with my wallet. People can bitch and moan all they want about loot boxes and micros, but if they continue to buy the games they will continue to be implemented. I refuse to buy this game because of their shitty practices.
