This is completely awesome but whoever did this is probably going to get sued.

As a staunch Fallout defender, I just can't do it anymore. Fallout 1st is a blatant slap in the face to loyal fans and an over the top money grab.

Maybe they'll feel the backlash like EA/Bioware did for the ending to Mass Effect 3 and listen to the fanbase. Probably not though.

cant imagine how they thought they would be a good idea.

a fricking mmo type subscription for private servers

I defended fo76 and had a good amount of fun around its launch but eventually moved on

Probably the most tone-deaf move I've ever seen and I've seen EA operate as a company

Fans: This is a money grab. We want private servers and mods, this is a $60 game.

Bethesda: Yeah just buy it, that shite's coming.

1 year later

Bethesda: Here's like half the stuff we promised! BTW, it'll be subscription based.


They've crashed so hard

This kills Fallout for me. I have no interest in this franchise anymore.

Bethesda is out of their damn minds. It's like they want to go out of business by giving a middle finger to their most loyal fans.

I have no problem playing their traditional Fallout and Elder Scrolls offerings. This online thing was way out of their comfort zone and they have bumbled it every step of the way. Which is crazy because ESO seems to be doing really well.

Zenimax needs to chill out with their money lust.

Todd Howard and Bethesda are probably just the faces that have to absorb all the anger.

I don't mind 3 or New Vegas. I've lost interest in 4. Fallout just isn't meant to be an online game. They are killing it.

Well, they had a novel idea of taking out this mode from 4, which was going to be it's multiplayer, and making it standalone. And the idea sounded good and a lot of people were on board. But have fumbled it from beginning to end.

Jesus.

Bethesda, EA, and Blizzard are playing an epic game of “hold my beer” these days.

The best Fallout game wasn't even made by Bethesda. Thank you for FNV, Obsidian.

I have two theories. Either Todd Howard is trying to get funding for Elder Scrolls 6 or Zenimax is just pushing them to do all of this. They HAD to know this subscription based service was going to make a lot of people mad.

Yeah no. Skyrim sold stupid well for years and Fallout 4 was no slouch either.

Outside of some sort of ridiculous demands I can't think of, they would be stupid to make 76 a funding source for a follow up to one of the biggest games of all time.

I regret buying 76, and sure am not giving them anymore money to that POS cash grab.

It has to be zenimax.

There's no way Todd Howard and Bethesda are disconnected enough from their consumer to believe this would go over well
