Moriendor is right. This is clearly a niche title, hence the top-tier publishers have no business being interested because it isn't clear it will move 3M+ (or whatever the minimum AAA benchmark is these days).

As for retail and SKUs…well, every industry has their benchmarks. A much as I hate GameStop and their ilk, a typical store has around 70m2 space and the only way to get the best results is to maximise sales-per-square-metre. SKUs might be "yuk" but that's the nature of retail.

Online and digital is the future for niche titles.

Best of luck to them but stop worrying about majors, Lar!
