Yeah, I was thinking the same. Bethesda doesn't fuck paying customers over(yet).

On the music sales. While the physical sales have been on decline year over year, the opposite the also true for digital downloads.

Sales are still there, just not in the arcane form that the big corps are used to do and they are afraid of change.

I just posted statistics showing that the digital sales have not been close to enough to make up for lost physical sales.

PC games' total worldwide revenue increased 18% in 2008, despite the retail side decreasing 15% or so (source).

Infact, the Digital Distribution revenue alone covered the entire loss on retail in 2008, plus some (you gotta calculate it from both horizon reports for 2007 and 2008, which I did once ages ago).
