The people that say that they will not get it because of this, would have preferred to pay 10 bucks more than the rest of the community?
genuinely asking
In my case, totally yes. I know my tastes are in the inverse direction of where industry is heading, but I think there is still enough public out there to offer other options (especially on Switch).
They are releasing two editions, if cart cost is the problem here they could sell the standard this way, but IMO they could actually offer another possibility by making the deluxe 50, but with everything on cart.
In a case like that, maybe they're afraid of not understanding demand, overshipping. So, this is Bethesda, if a company of 3-4 people like LimitedRunGames can manage to print the exact number of copies that people want… Couldn't really these big publishers try to do something similar? Well, they could even rely on LRG for this!
I would have bought L.A. Noire, Wolfenstein, Starlink… should a possibility like this had existed.
