Does Bethesda handle distribution? Because that's a distribution problem, and if Bethesda doesn't handle distribution, forwarding that kind of a problem to them would obviously achieve nothing.
Apparently Bethesda does. Local distributor pointed to them. People on respective forums said Beths have a "
We will not sell stuff on these conditions in this country" policy towards Steam.
It has never been a problem though and it's no longer relevant. They didn't take my money when I offered - I'm fine with that.
