Chinese mobile players love pay2win for some reason.



It's less about the Switch 2 being able to run the game as it is right now and more about what restrictions that brings for the future.
Because while the PS4 and Series S might be easy to drop at this point if required, those consoles are 13 and 6 years old respectively.

And as you've said, those are the consoles with the weakest hardware. If they develop it for the Switch 2 they will have to support it for several years and who knows how long it's hardware is going to be "enough".
Granted old potato PCs would be in the exact same boat. And with current hardware prices nobody can affort any upgrades right now.
It's not the Switch 2 hardware that you have to worry about. You really think they will try to increase the system requirements of the game anytime in the next few years with the price of upgrading/building a gaming pc skyrocketing?
You realise they want more players, not less?
