Isn't the reason why this game became abandonware was because Activision and Bethesda were fighting for the rights to the game?
They have been under the same roof of Microsoft for years now, whats the hold up?

The real reason is surely that the game won't generate the revenue they want. It's really just about the money, nothing more. Would they listen to the community? No.

It's a pretty sad situation. There's no harm in providing it for people to play solo and as a way to easily get data files for modding.
