I guess the budget price wouldn't be able to cover cartridge costs unless Bethesda raised the price for Switch owners only. Nonetheless, that's a shame.

Hmm.
I wonder it it's just a size vs price per cart issue and they sought to avoid the switch tax.
Or they decided the lead time for production was just far to early for development to adequately finish without basically requiring a full redownload patch to be acceptable.
Either way a shame, but im not suprised they pulled this considering it's not a full price release.

also if it's cart size they could've put part on cart rest digital. also darksiders is on a 16 gigabyte cart
Understandable if they don't find it profitable enough to do a cartridge but if it's to that point I'd almost prefer they just not release it boxed as it's a bit deceptive. Regardless there are those that would prefer to still at least have a box on a shelf.

Yeah, I agree. I was mostly joking.
Not about the "Man... that sucks" part.

I am so tired of this shit from big publishers on the Switch. I'm sorry, but fuck off with this cheap ass shit. It's ALWAYS the big publishers that do this crap too. Capcom, Bethesda, 2K, etc...They're the only who cheap out on these Switch games.
Yet, oh hey, look at Limited Run Games, or Nicalis...smaller publishers relative to these other ones, and their games are always nicely packaged, and even include some manuals and other goodies inside the box. Bethesda can't even be bothered to put the fucking game in the box.

This is already a super common practice for PC games. I have a Tekken 7 steel book that hilariously just had a card with a steam code in it. It was only a matter of time before we started getting console games the same way.
There's over a thousand games on the eShop but it's easier getting exposure at a retail store even if it's just a code in a box.
I'm guessing the physical edition is just marketing? Maybe a way for someone browsing the game section of a store to see it and know the game exists? I dunno, just trying to understand this move.
Usually Limited Run etc release tiny eShop games. Apparently people are willing to put 2-5x more for a cartridge and some stickers.
Good news is GCU members will get 20% off this digital copy of the game
Saves them money on the cart and they still get to be in retail stores.
Shitty but whatever, won't stop me from buying. Wonder if this will be the case with DOOM Eternal.
Because their games are way bigger in terms of size and scope? This obviously sucks, but Bethesda is still doing a day and date release.
That just means I get the 20% discount anyways from Best Buy instead of downloading it from eShop.
Checkmate.

This makes the decision of making the standard edition "only available as digital download" in Europe, Australia and New Zealand really weird:

I guess in these territories the standard edition is digital only, and the deluxe one is "boxed digital only" 🤷♂️
