Bantin says that he doesn't remember the cost of cartridges even factoring into the equation. You can read his full reply to a Digital Foundry thread down below. Snowdrop relies heavily on disk streaming for its open world environments, and we found the Switch 2 cards simply didn't give the performance we needed at the quality target we were going for. I don't recall the cost of the cards ever entering the discussion - probably because it was moot. — Rob Bantin 🇸🇪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@cubusaddendum.bsky.social) 2025-09-04T18:51:52.058Z Comment
