That's a terrible idea, it's like videogames and intrusive drm.

I took that into account when I said it. The resellers will buy them at the low price in the beginning you are right, But so will fans. And you figure half of the early ones will be put up for auction somewhere, either they are sold while Bethesda has the higher price still in stock, which would limit the early ones market to the price Bethesda is selling the upper price, or when Bethesda completely sells out the price will jump astronomically. But at that time it doesn't matter anymore because Bethesda sold the majority at a higher clip anyway. The price is going to jump on a limited anything after it sells out. But atleast that way, they weren't profited on by 5x before they even got the product to other hands, and fans still got the opportunity at a lower price.
