Fallout 76, just a cash grab we shouldn't worry about or something more sinister?

they will make Fallout 5 in the future and it will kick ass.
Dude where have you been? we've only gotten one good fallout game under bethesda's rule and they're so jealous of its critical reception that they won't even sell merchandise for it. they are so jelly that they dont even want to acknowledge New vegas' existence for profit, much less let another game like it get made. they then double down on everything the fans criticised them for doing in fallout 3, ignored lore even harder, and then stripped out SPECIAL, the very foundation of a fallout game, thereby 100% destroying the franchise in everything but name. we're likely never get another good fallout game under their rule.
 
I mean, that's not encouraging either. I couldn't bring myself to buy another Fallout 4 level product. It was a slog that I had to bleed in an attempt to find each moment of enjoyment out of (even on my first playthrough where I could actually claim occasional spirts of shiny novelty) and they were so few and far between that I probably put more time in trying to *find* enjoyment than actually having it. I mined that shit and even then it required it to be modded to the starts to find enough to keep going. Skyrim was just flaccid action gaming claiming to be an RPG, but you could still string together moments of amusement without too much effort - especially if you long ago gave up on TES lore making anything resembling sense. It certainly wasn't good but was at least fast food burger quality. Fallout 4 was a fucking insult. It was the fast food burger that required being dug out from the dumpster and then boiled to try and eat, and still made me sick. Sicker the more you did it. I literally uninstalled it and am debating if I even want to spend the space to reinstall it for potentially *good* things - Cascadia, New Vegas, or Miami - because the fundamental foundation is so rotten I question if even the best of the community could brace it together with the way the creation tools tie their hands.
I'm not saying Fallout 4 was good, just that we can't expect anything lower than that. And I don't believe that the next Fallout is gonna be game of the year either.
