[The factories would tell us,] this is what the yields say. I mean, we don&#8217;t make [the Pip-Boy Editions], and we&#8217;d go back to [the factories] and say, &#8216;Demand for this is insane, we&#8217;ve got to make more.&#8217; And they&#8217;d move other projects off or shift stuff to other factories and it just came to [them telling Bethesda], &#8216;Final answer: sorry, this is as many as we can make.&#8217; And we sold every single one of those that we could.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Disappointing as it is, it\u2019s completely understandable.
