That is a disappointment. I honestly doubt I'll be getting it now. It's a shame, because I wanted to visit more of Tamriel. I can only hope they have a change of heart down the line, but there's no guarantee (even if such a transition is not unheard of). I can't help but think they've turned a fair few people away with this decision.
