You actually don't know that. You don't know if they used 3rd party contractors or what are their conditions. You're assuming that they don't do it because they can't (among assuming other things that fact implies), I'm assuming they're just jerks (at least ZeniMax that is). Thing is, the best thing is to not assume. We don't know if they're not willing or they can't. So in the end I bash them for not letting us know the whys behind such thing, which is something we should all demand instead of picking the "They can't!" or the "They're jerks!" side. You're right. I, personally, haven't seen the contracts. I only have Robin's word for what he was told by BethsSoft representatives when he raised this very issue. And we all know how unreliable he is. :tongue: I don't think Robin's reliability is in question here, but rather, BethSoft's honesty. I'm not saying it's one way or the other. He's got a point that you don't know, just because that's what Robin was told; and you've got a point that it's really a moot point because their rules are essentially law when it comes to this matter. Personally I have no reason to doubt what Robin was told.
