Even Fallout 76's Most Loyal Supporters Are Mad at Bethesda Over Its New Subscription Service

Fallout 76's loyal community is up-in-arms against Bethesda's new subscription plan.

[Relientk77]

Good, no one should support this.

[TheScotsman]

Got my hard earned cash ready and I'll spend it on what the f#@k I like. 100 will be winging its way to Bethesda from me

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Good! So long as I don't run into empty headed brains during my multiplayer matches online.

[indysurfn]

Always a few fools promoting greed and pledging loyalty to anyone that will lord it over them.

[Ninver]

I recon they're doing this to get attention away from the outer worlds. Play the villain but gain publicity.

[Nitrowolf2]

It aint working, if anything itll deive people to it

[Lighter9]

LegacyKillaHD makes great videos about all of this.

[Father__Merrin]

why are you personally being affected by this? your not being forced to buy it and it wont affect you

[Ricegum]

And you're part of the problem, well done.

[TheScotsman]

No your the problem, you ain't even playing the game and your moaning about a sub

[fiveby9]

I think his point is that supporting them reinforces lousy business practices from a studio which many once loved. People had hope that Bethesda would turn the ship around slowly (esp with Wastelanders) but instead they appear to be tone deaf. But hey, you're free to buy whatever you like.

[Father__Merrin]

Can any1 tell me if any mmo dishes out freebies like what's been offered in fallout 1st?

Other mmo either have monthly sub to play or charge for expansions etc I see no different here f76 is a great game. Most ppl who moan haven't even got the game and are likely spending all thier time on the internet

@Father__Merrin: Most F2P who also have subscription models do the exact same thing if not more. DCUO offers unlimited access to all content and more rewards and free store currency. ESO similar. More storage space, better access to features that make life easier, and the like are common in them as well.

The thing is, those games have way more players in the world at once (not just a total of 8), have way more content, and don't cost $60 to buy. They also have diverse class systems, PvP, raids, and more.

[TheScotsman]

Im with you, spend your money on what you like, I will

[Specter229]

Let me understand you here. People have been asking for private servers and unlimited stash since day 1. They slap a price tag on it and you're ok with that?

They blatantly lied to you. They said the cant increase stash size because it affects performance, but now all of a sudden slap a price tag on it and they can do it?

[notachance]

I still remember people saying "iT wON't aFfECt YoU" bullshit to a damn horse armor, now few years into the future we got all these shitty publishers (many of which were decent in the past) competing on how to best nickel and dime their customers

it will affect the damn publishers and their marketing strategy in the future, which in turn will affect ALL GAMER

[rainslacker]

Probably considering they delayed the promised update that made the game more appealing to next year, and then pushed this on the consumer base instead? The sub isn't even all that special, and it's not even DLC, it's just a service, where you lose the DLC once the sub lapses. I mean, this is actually worse than DLC, as you don't even have a false sense of ownership, and it applies the rental service mentality in services like Game Pass or PSNow into DLC or MT content.

[cyber_daemonx]

Not the point at all.

[Thundercat77]

This is truly greedy and disrespectful. No one should support this.

[Fritzwochel]

Surely the game must be amazing when they launch such an expensive subscription plan?

[Specter229]

To the people who keep trying to justify this, you realize theyve been lying to you since release?
Stash size is capped at 800 because it causes performance issues in game ... but if you pay them 100 a year these performance issues go away ... like magic.

If you're ok with this well I've got some beachfront property on mars you might be interested in.

[TheOptimist]

I really don't get how there are people who are loyal to crap like this.

Must be really hit in the head with the force of a gargantuan bollock to be that naive.

[metalgod88]

This is just sad and pathetic. What else is there to say? The game has been a complete disaster from Beta and instead of going the right direction and making things better, they manage to make it worse and worse with every update. I mean... why are we still talking about this?

[AK91]

Stop giving money to their products and THEN Bethesda will give it to you.
