Realistically it's entirely possible it took more platform specific work to make the switch version viable than anything else.
It's not their fault it's lesser hardware.

It's possible, but that's wild speculation, and I think pretty unlikely.
It's not their fault it's lesser hardware.
It's their fault for releasing a 70$ game on "lesser hardware" while not spending the time to get it working and looking well-enough. They didn't have to release it.

Yeah I looked and idk what to say - it looks like a switch game.
If you bought a switch, which was an extremely underpowered when it was released 6 years ago, and then get upset when AAA games releasing on current gen consoles look like dogshit... You have nobody to blame but yourself.

If you’re buying this (or anything other than Nintendo exclusive games) for your switch, it’s because you don’t have any other options and likely only own a switch
If you had a PC or a PS5, you’d buy it on that.
So switch only owners would pay whatever for it, but the rest of us wouldnt
I mean, not necessarily - they might be buying it on the switch because they want a "mobile" version and don't own a steam deck.
But yeah, ultimately if you own a switch, you should know what to expect by now from anything that isn't a first party Nintendo title (and even then it can be a bit hit or miss from a performance standpoint)
I admit I haven't really touched my switch much since I got a Steam Deck.

Not always true; some games work really well on handheld/portable devices and the Switch is really good for that. The Binding of Isaac springs to mind.

What a horrendous website.
It probably cost more in development to port the game to Switch than any other console. Graphics quality is irrelevant when users willingly buy a device with worse hardware than consoles. This seems like a case of "fans" wanting to eat their cake and have it too.

Seriously, it's a product for sale. Don't like the price, vote with your wallet and don't buy it. What's with the manufactured outrage for every topic nowadays
People are complaining because they don't like a thing, that's fine. Same as you're complaining in this post. Call companies out on their bullshit. Also don't buy bullshit, that's a good point too.

I don't like how many posts cater to outrage lately, true.
But I don't think this one is manufactured.

I don't think it's "outrage". It's people making fun of the port on x and the website capitalizing on that to publish a story

For the quality offered the cost was very steep, but its also true the Switch doing some major heavy lifting already.
What does that mean, the Switch doing some major heavy lifting?
The hardware the game is running is painfully terrible in 2023.
While the OP meant it the way he answered you, the way I see it used most often colloquially is that when someone or something does the heavy lifting especially in gaming, they are providing the bulk of the work. Like doing the heavy lifting in a team game equates to carrying the team, or saying a character does the heavy lifting instead of the player, means the character is overpowered and carrying the player (or vice versa).
Well that makes sense. The switch is a less powerful platform, an intentional trade off for the mobility. And at this point, it's on the older side. Either accept the trade off so you can play on an airplane or buy a more powerful modern device like a steam deck.
I've seen phone games look better
I've seen Switch games that look better.

To all people who buy switch and say it's not about the graphics, it's about the experience, this is what you get.
I'm not criticizing them saying this , I'm just making a point that switch as inferior hardware and you can't expect to have the game with the same graphics as ps5. The game price is not tied to the graphics, it's tired to the amount of work they had to put in it, which I'm sure is a lot

Do people not realize that some, if not all store fronts have a clause that the base price of a game has to be the same on other storefronts.
I know its true for steam vs other pc store fronts, but i believe its probably true for consoles as well.
