Well, that and that migrating to anything else would be a huge nightmare. They have a ton of infrastructure written around Perforce, just for starters. Then there's the fact that moving to, say, git, would require significant refactoring of their heavily incestuous code base. Moving to Subversion would be easier, but svn's problems with branching and merging would probably make that a non-starter.
