What the heck is going on...
>buy physical cart for an handheld system>90GB download lol lmaothis is the future you all chose
>>739510427I didn't. I haven't bought a single one of those. I've only bought 2 Switch 2 games, and they were both real carts.
>>739510557How do patches get handled with carts? Not trying to bait, just curious how/patches get downstreamed to physical distributions these days, carts specifically.
>>739511553Are you implying the patch is installed into the cart? No, it doesn't. The game is installed into the console and the patch is applied to the game.
>>739511553Same as discs, if the game gets reprinted it's usual already patched up to a point.
>>739510427T. guy who has 100+ steam titles
>>739510302physical media is too slow and games only get bigger in size. now, you could just "buy" a digital copy like a good goy or get an "empty" key-cart, except instead of installing the game like on ps4/5 you download it and you can still sell the game after playing.
>>739510302I haven't bought a physical game in 7 years :)
>>739510302>nintendo doesnt want to make smaller carts because it costs a fortune>you faggots dont stop bitching about it and spreading disinfo so they finally give in and make a smaller cart>nintendo doesnt want to make larger carts because it will cost a fortune and make games even more expensive>you faggots dont stop bitching about it and spreading disinfo, trying to force them to sell the games for 100 dollars so you can bitch about that too.just dont buy it what the fuck, why do you feel the need to blow out your capillaries in rage every time nintendo does something?
>>739512624The funny thing is Konamii could put all of MGSMC2 on a cart since the Switch 2 hyrule warriors is larger than it.
>>739510302>peace walkerzoomzooms are gonna be traumatized by paz..
>>739514017It isnt the size retard.A single cart costs the dev 15 bucks. Nintendo can suck up that cost because their games will always sell even late into the gen, but third parties have a really small window that people buy their games before people wait for a sale.So lets say you print 500k copies world wide and your physical sales flop and you only sell 100k copies, that means you made 5 mill on your sales and lost 6 mill on your unsold stock.
>>739514363That reasoning makes sense for some random niche gameBut come on anon, neither FF7R nor MGS were ever going to flop on S2
>>739514498Marvelous which is not a big company by any means ships all its games in cart.
>>739514363MIO is as indie as you can get and they still went with an actual cart. Also this >>739514676This is just Square and Konami being cheap fucks.

They really could at least do runs of the complete game on the cart as a "limited/deluxe/collectors/we're fucking Jewish" editions and charge $10 extra.Nintendo is about the last company I trust to have to rely on their servers. I already lost all my digital 3DS games because their outdated ass system at the time, and you just know in 20 years they're going to say that you better have your games downloaded because it's been a great run, but they can no longer support letting you download the game you purchased.
>>739515770No one's gonna miss these slop games in 5 years, let alone 20.
>>739514363>A single cart costs the dev 15 bucks.
>>739514676Lel. There really isn't an excuse at this point. To think that all these 5/10 games like DXM and Mouse PI get physical carts.
>>739515770>. I already lost all my digital 3DS games because their outdated ass system at the time,Anon, the 3ds servers a open as we speak, what are you on about? The only thing you cant do is purchase new games.
>>739516208When disks barely cost a nickel, that's huge
>>739516208sell for 60:>retail takes 30% cut (18 bucks)> -33 is 27Okay, thats fine I guess, we can still recov->actually printing on to the cart costs money>shipping costs money>packaging costs money>you now make 20 bucks on a 60 dollar gamelets put it this way, if you were offered two jobs, one of which was in a separate location from your home and got you 20 dollars and hour, and the other which you could work from anywhere and you got 42 (60 - 0.3 cut from digital store), which would you prefer to do?
