And if the game isn’t made from the ground up for the smaller storage space of the Switch, porting it and compressing it down starts to get tricky. Suddenly, we have this portable storage thing on the market that wants the same games as the home consoles, and the only one who has had any practice making games in a small space has been Nintendo. Yes, this could probably have been made to compress smaller, but these developers have had no reason to focus on that, since we’ve had a decade of relatively cheap storage for home consoles.

And I’m going to go ahead and assume you don’t have experience in game development, because it’s not laziness. This one is larger than the 32gb max, I believe. How come a huge game like Zelda can cramp so much in just less than 16GB? I swear these 3rd parties are fucking reckless with their work. How the fuck 2K claims they can’t fit or won’t afford a 32GB cart to fit a 25GB basketball game that has one fucking arena with cosmetic changes and a roster of dozens of players? I highly doubt that shit like that can take up so much space which it shouldn’t. It’s like they never heard of “compression”before and just go full out on these games that are heavily lesser in scope and features than games like Breath of the Wild. Nintendo should bring out the 64GB version of the cartridges to stop this stupid ass lazy trend of 3rd parties. We might as well buy the fucking digital version for that matter but nobody likes digital much unless it makes sense for the ecosystem. There’s no way in hell that games like these require almost an entirety of the game size to be downloaded.

The only acceptable compromise I can think of in this BS scenario BY CHEAP LAZY ASS 3RD PARTIES, is to offer both physical and digital versions of the game at one price.
