I think this is along the lines of their plan to sell releases of Ultima
after Ultima 8 on CD-ROM only. They're figureing that by the time they go
to market, these things will have fallen in price to a point where they're
really not that expensive. If the history of pricing on computers is a guide,
then they're probobly right.
