Because Bethesda wants the game sell as well, if not better, than Oblivion? Game development is a business and developers want to make as much money as they can, even if they have to compromise a game's quality to do so.

Really? No kidding? I always thought game developers wanted to make great games. That is what they all say in interviews. How deceitful.

Aren't you assuming that compromising quality will sell better?

The question was not about making money which is a given. It is about where making money falls on the spectrum of priorities. Why should we as consumers give a crap about about companies that place their net return on investment far above quality of product?

Edit: Bethesda is free to make whatever choices they want. We'll just have to see how it plays out. I think that there will be more complaints before this is over though. After all, the brand value comes from the customers caring, not from anything they did. I am actually still hopeful.
