Would Nintendo offering to pay the difference in cost for 32 GB cards for third party releases a plausible solution

I've never made the claim that consumers prefer cards over discs to begin with, that's something you came up with after I said that consumers like cartridges and cards. You started with the claim that it was a shitty decision by Nintendo to use cards as storage medium, because you were busy defending third parties. Since then you've moved goalposts.

What happens in a free market is that consumers choose the best games. The publishers who put full games on cards will be rewarded, the publishers who don't will see their games collecting dust on store shelves. You know what I am getting at? Consumers won't put up with bullshit because they don't have to; there are plenty of other and better games on Switch. Third parties who engage in bullshit practices ultimately only hurt themselves and deservedly so. The remaining party in this equation (Nintendo) won't lose sleep over this either, because software sales will go to their own games and third parties who do a proper job.

While that's all fair, just remember it was Nintendo that caused this problem in the first place with their design philosophy for the Switch. 3rd parties shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to offer the same experience they would on any other platform.

So third parties shouldn't have to jump through hoops while Nintendo has to, effectively do just that, to help them sell their own games. Double standards?
