Fallout 76 - [PC/XB1/PS4] - November 14, 2018

"It can't be done, it's impossible! Engine limitations! If they could do it they would have done it by now!" cried the Bethesda apologists.

Took them a whole week to unfuck it once they realized they needed to fix it.

So I hear people are mad about the bag in the Power Armor Edition

[Andalusian girls]

it kind of amazes me a company that is so aggressively anti-consumer (I mean literally the horse armor bois) doesn't receive anywhere near the kind of hate say EA does

I could understand it when they were the only real open world gang in town but in an age of Witcher 3 and Horizon and BotW I don't get putting up with their shitty gameplay and shittier storytelling married to buggy unfinished alpha messes that get blasted with gossamer DLC and endless rereleases without ever getting fixed

[Tyrath]

I think Bethesda is getting shit on pretty heavily for 76. Not EA levels, but their perception is definitely in the toilet right now.

[Andalusian girls]

true true. it took their most egregious cash grab yet but better late than never

It's been pointed out that the in-game canvas bag costs 700 Atoms.

[Korialstrasz]

Wasn't their original excuse that they couldn't get enough canvas to make them or something? They had a year in advance to make the bags but couldn't get enough of one of the most common materials on the planet. Riiight.

Only took them three weeks and a hell of a PR hit.

[Bombur]

The Canvas Bag is old news. Now there is a serious brief data breach / loophole in the bethesda site, that has caused people to be able to see personal information.

This is such a gold fail of the year overall, hilarious. I was never interested in this title, but I enjoy how it keeps us entertained anyway

[Anoat]

To add to the collectors edition fail it looks like Bethesda customer support tickets are getting emailed to random people including name, address, and CC number used to buy the game. Holy fuck they are in some shit on this one.

[NotGreyheim]

Jesus Christ, they are legitimately fucking up in every conceivable way. As someone on the outside looking in (didn’t buy, have 0 interest), it’s actually kind of impressive...

[Kalmado]

I had read some things and watched some vids that lawyers are looking to get involved regarding this title as well. What a complete and utter shit show this title has turned out to be.

[Krandor]

I'm wonder what the next fuck up will be... maybe the game installed rootkits that started bricking everyone's consoles and PCs?

[silverdragontyr]

Jesus christ how do you fuck up so hard? I mean, barring just all the legal ramifications, if even a small number of CC numbers are being sent out to random people and you bought this game how do you know you're safe? Does everyone who bought this game need to get a new card? Maybe we won't get ES6 lol.

It appears to be limited to people who bought the collectors edition and opened up a Bethesda customer support ticket to get a refund/claim on the canvas bag. They had to provide name, address, and CC used to buy the game in the ticket.

[Tyrath]

That'll show people who dare ask for what they actually paid for.

[6souls]

Game code glitched upon the year becoming 2019 causing all nukes to be un-launchable.
