Because you can only buy it online. Packing more nutshots than a Johnny Cage Cosplay Convention, Sniper Elite 3 is out soon and it’s headed to Effrika. The game will be out in a regular and special edition when it hits shelves. And it’ll also be available in the following flavour.
Here’s the official description, from Rebellion:
Independent UK developer Rebellion has announced they are self-publishing a Limited Special Edition for the PC version of Sniper Elite 3. Exclusive to Rebellion’s own online Gamestore, the studio has planned a limited run of only 1000 copies which will ship on the game’s June 27th worldwide PC launch. Packed with hundreds of pounds worth of content, the Limited Special Edition includes a host of rare collectibles and merchandise – many of which can’t be found in any other edition of the game – as well as the game itself and access to all future DLC.

From experience, those bit of paper in a CE always end up in the back of the cupboard and are essentially a waste.
