When do you guys think the game will be out on Steam?

From a business stand point, If I were bethesda, i would just keep it on their own launcher. It's less pricey for them to sell copies of their own games if they themselves are selling it directly from their own system instead of involving a 3rd party seller. Companies like valve accept games to catalogue and sell in exchange for a percentage of the sale which cuts into the developers profits. Dont they need Steam since steam has such a large client base? Not really. They are a huge AAA company that already has a prestigious IP that doesn't need that extra exposure and are fully capable of using just their own launcher to make the sales needed. If they were an indie company, then they would need steams client base.
