Wow, so in Germany some of stores are giving away Fallout Seventy Shit for free if you buy a X-Box or PS4 controller and are even giving people another free copy of Fallout Seventy Shit if you buy the X-Box or PS4 Fallout 76 bundle. Either they stores desperately want to get rid copies of Fallout 76 or Bethesda is telling them to give them away in order to save face.
"Our game isn't a pile of shit! Look at how many copies we were able to sell. If all these people bought this game then clearly we are doing something right!" :whatever:

It won't go free to play. It makes no sense for it to go free to play. I'm so confident that it won't happen that if it does, I will never make another post on this website.

Bethesda said it wouldn't be free to play. And, hey, it's technically not "free to play", if you get if for free when you buy a controller or console...

As of now, there are no pay to win items in the store. Cosmetics only. If a video claimed otherwise, it was clickbait.

I'm not entirely sure if this is fake or not but it looks like an in-game benefit tied to a cosmetic purchased through the store to me.
 
Seems to be real from what I can find.
But the thing is, if you mention it, fanboys will still defend this... I found a couple reddit threads about it and there are people defending it...
 
I say we rent a wrecking ball, and go knocking on Bethesda's door...
Perhaps, to teach them how to be neighborly...

Joking aside, when is this garbage going to end? I also recently heard the lawsuit against Bethesda is gaining traction, however the unconstitutional arbitration clause is throwing wrenches.
 
Ok, so I have a friend who plays 76, and this is the latest on the PS4 version:

Fucking Bethesda man lmao
 
The moment you think the train is done derailing, another train car jumps the tracks careening into an orphanage. I guess those hype trains sure did have a lot of momentum...

A buddy of mine in the UK has recently adopted the phrase "Fuck Bethesda", after the issues with Fallout 76 they experienced. I wonder how he's faring right at this moment with all this crap going on?

This was probably the least hyped Bethesda game in awhile. I'd say a lot of fans of their games were divided into excited, pissed off, or apathetic/wait-and-see.

Even if they fixed every bug, glitch, and exploit in this game tomorrow, it would still be shit. And I'm not even saying that from a Fallout fan's perspective. The weight limitations are ass, the shooting is subpar, the kill-craft-walk here loop sucks even more, the weapons and armor degrade at an annoying rate. I could probably tell you more but I don't think most of you need convincing.

They really seem stuck to me because not only does the game not work well, it needs more content and better systems to even be worth it to the average gamer.

That's funny. It made me imagine this scenario:

"Crap, no one is buying this Bethesda turd, what should we do boss?!"
"I have an amazing idea! Ok, so we'll package them with some used consoles and make it sound like a steal of a deal!"
"I don't know boss, you sure the customers are going to go for that?"
"Of course, that's why I'm the boss after all."

*1 Month Passes*

"Boss! What are we going to do! No one is buying the used consoles anymore! When we tell customers that Fallout 76 is bundled with it for free they just frown and walk away..."
"I got it! We'll make it so all they have to do is buy a controller for either system!"
"Are you sure? Most of the customers asked if they could just buy the used console sans the free game."
"Not to worry, we won't tell them their getting Fallout 76 until their at the cash register."
"Boss, you're a genius! Surely we can finally move the Bethesda turds!"

*2 Months Pass*

"Boss, we haven't sold a single controller for the Playstation 4 or the XBOX One... The moment the customers learned we're pawning Fallout 76 on them they walked away from the sale."
"I've got a great idea, we'll pair them with Fallout 4 keychains!"
"But Boss, wouldn't that be basically hinder the sales of a popular game commodity?"
"Yes but, at least we'll start selling used consoles and controllers again."
"Boss you've done it again, your brilliant!"

*3 Months Pass*

"Boss, we haven't sold a single Fallout 4 key chain..."
"Hmm, let's just donate Fallout 76 to the Hospital's terminal kid ward."
"Boss, that's just cruel..."
"Better them then us! Besides their toast anyways"

*50 Years Pass*

"It's a historic day indeed as the rumored Fallout 76 landfill was discovered Thursday afternoon by local treasure hunters..."

I like this particular response from Bethesda about adding more stuff to the Atom Store instead of fixing bugs and other problems:
Other players are angry that new microtransaction items continue to get added to the game’s Atom store while all of this is going on, to which a Bethesda community manager responded that the Atom team is separate from the one working on bug fixes and patches.

“I understand that it can be frustrating to see [the Atom store] updated when you’re waiting for game play updates but it’s separate from those working on the code,” they wrote on the game’s subreddit.

As if that excuses anything.
If your game is a mess of bugs and other problems like duping exploits, unbalanced, etc. With players complaining about a new problem each day... You don't make a Atom Shop "team". You put everyone available fixing the damn game, not adding new store content... :facepalm:
That reply doesn't excuse anything and still accentuates the users complaints, instead of fixing the game, they are wasting manpower on the store content. It just proves that the outrage is a valid one :rofl:.

Knowing about the Atari ET landfills, it gives me hope that future historians may one day find boxes of Fallout 76 buried in a landfill somewhere in a random desert.

Knowing Bethesda, they'd probably dump them in the wrong landfill though.

I never saw non gamers playing that one. The church I went to had so many people playing Wii Sports and Rock Band it was crazy. I think giving people something interesting to do while standing up aside from clapping hands and raising them in the air is part of it.
 
This gotta be internal sabbotage at this point, it's too ridiculous even for Bethesda to reach this level of incompetence.
 
Maybe the theory is true.

Bethesda is actually not a game developer and they just bought the franchise as a part of a social experiment to see how far they can fuck up a franchise, before everyone abandons them.

Seems the experiment is still runing.
 
They launch skyrim even for toasters and that fucking Fallout 4 sold even more.

Why so desperates for more money? I mean, unless they dont use testers for the game, all these problems should already be known. They should have held the launch until they had a more refined product.

Or at least be aware that they are a bunch of incompetents and modders are the only ones who have always fixed their games. Ben aware of that, mods would be allowed since the begin.
