No. The game is paid. It should come with all available settings. This is just one step away from studios hiding HD textures behind paywalls.

And this line of thinking is what let's them get away with it.

Didn't someone already do something like that? Was it Bethesda or Ubisoft that locked 4k textures behind pay wall?

Bethesda brought HD texture packs for Skyrim and Fallout, yes. But they are free DLCs and came out several years after release. Bethesda did a paid modding shop.

But this is a feature that other games just have, that's paid, on a preorder full price AAA game that's already more expensive than other games.

Stop trying to compare, this is a whole new precedent of greed and mtx.

what other games offer this feature for free?

Did you not read the entire comment? I said behind a pay wall as in paid DLC. Sorry for having a bad memory I guess.
