How come we don't see Hobbits in games like Baldur's Gate?

[StormRider]

We see Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs but no Hobbits. What's the reason?

They're called halflings due to copyright restrictions.

There will always be Halflings and Halfnotlings in a capitalist society.

As opposed to a socialist system in which there are only halfnotlings.

Yeah...the only people that call them 'hobbits' are themselves, the Rangers, the Bree-men, and some wood-elves that pass by sometimes. Just about everyone else calls them 'halflings', except the people of Rohan, who call them "holbytlas". (probably a good guess of where the name 'hobbit' came from, as the people of Rohan used to live far in the north.)
