It's not even funny.
Just think of all things the publisher has to take care of.
As far as I know that not only includes distribution, but also production of marketing material and the production(hardware copy) of the game itself.
In fact I thought about my post while getting cigarettes, and, unless a lot the stuff is already printed, I think it takes more than 12 weeks.
Imho several hundred man-hours on the publisher(-s?) side.
And the publisher is not going to waste all of his resources for one upcoming game.
After all, this is just a freakin' FLIGHT SIM.
How many % of the consumers can you reach with it?
I know not one(!) person in my personal "environment"*(other than my squad) involved in flight sims, well, maybe the one guy I met 15 years ago...
The flight simmers are, percentage wise, only a 1digit niche in the market.
I'm sure OM is aware of this, and BoB is only the spearhead of a new generation of Battle Sims.
(A tank sim would already double your potential consumer)
