Minnesota is a state, not a business. Minnesota doesn't have retail lists.

Retailers carry what sells, if no one is buying Morrowind, they'll stop carrying it. Likewise, if no one is manufacturing Morrowind, they can't stock it.

Morrowind was recently released on Steam, by the way.

Best Buy in Lincoln NE has it, I think they once said it sells better than OB.

Every game store I've been into recently here in Reading, England has had at least one copy of Morrowind GOTY.

It's generally the budget re-release without the paper map though, so it's hardly an ideal version to buy.

I don't see Morrowind in stores from years here in Rome. Only a copy at a mini street market some months ago. After all is an old game and who would be interest in it apart from us insanes of the community? Also, let's say that stores wouldn't earn a single coin from it, because Italians are crazy for Playstation and XBOX 360.

You know what's also popular? Enormous flying cities and ridable dragons. Maybe TR should invest in navigable ships and underwater cities.

GOTY has recently been republished by Ubi here in the Benelux. Lots of stores carry it here as a budget game.

I'm sure 'the internet' still sells plenty of copies of the game, in case your local shop doesn't. There is nothing surprising or shocking about old games disappearing from retail lists. It doesn't banish Morrowind from existence either.

Sure that the internet has lots of copies of the game; I'm fully satisfied with my only one though. ;)

I forgot to say that usually games comes with magazines after some time, and at a very cheap price, that's how I got most of the games I played. ;)
