Why don't they just release it now then? I mean....it's ready to go, we paid for it already (alot of us at least), so give it to us.
Distribution. It takes time from "final build" to "available in stores". In digital you can magically copy them, im physicall it takes a bit more than that.

Pretty much any franchise that doesn't involve annual iterations has this. And if it's a major studio, it has it in droves. It's not just Bethesda.
I know but there seems to be a "thing" with Bethesda games, maybe because they're a "legacy" studio, I mean when Skyrim came out the furore was palpable
Its a thing with bethesda is because they use GameBryo (and make no mistake, skyrims engine is just updated gamebryo) engine that is horrible and causes all kinds of problems.

wow 27 i would freak if we had like 10 skus of something like that where i work
Its really just 3 versions. the 9 times the number comes from region splitting for release. for example Europe is split into two regions when it comes to pricing. China is a region on its own. ect. they are likely identical or very close to identical, probably only changes for local laws (germany censorship, Australian hatred of naked bodies, ect)
