  How many times do we have to go over this?  We KNOW for a stone cold fact that 8GB and bellow is equal to or cheaper than a PS4 disc.  

Therefore there is no excuse - none, zero, zilch - for this kind of behavior.  It's cheap, anti-consumer BS.  End of story.  People should be upset over this.  This is just insulting.  Cause it is NOT the system, it's the company.  This is entirely on Capcom.  

If that's the case then it must not be the companies and instead Nintendo keeping the prices hiked. Some games cost ten quid more on switch, if you are correct it's definitely not the publishers who are keeping those prices up, no one wants that PR. If it is Nintendo they need to stop it immediately and bring down prices before kids and teenagers start hacking there systems, at worst breaking there systems so they can't buy Nintendo games and at best taking a chunk out of sales through piracy. Nintendos prices have always been high but this is ridiculous.

This is in no way Nintendo's fault. The 8 GB cartridge costs the same for developers as a PS4 Blu-Ray disc (source: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/09/feature_exploring_the_switch_tax_and_why_nintendo_was_right_to_use_game_cards).

Capcom is simply doing this because they can make more money. They could have put this on 4GB cartridge and still made more money per unit than the PS4 physical release.

 

Also, referring to your first comment. (1) While the Switch is hacked piracy is not an option yet (though it is inevitable). (2) Both 3DS and PS4 have been hackable for a good while now with piracy yet neither has really suffered. (3) You fault Nintendo for using cartridges but what other option do they have? Mini-disc standards have not been updated in a decade and so they offer little storage (even Sony moved away from the UMDs to cartridges) and if they only had the option for digital purchases there would have been an Xbox One style outrage.
