The only bright side is this will force them to make the next fallout better and to make sure Elder scrolls 6 is good:ehh::ehh:
I see this as the same situation Mass effect andromeda went thru :scust: best believe Mass effect 5 and elder scrolls 6 will be great for both companies sake:scust::scust:

how can these devs be so fukking out of touch nowadays?

take two, bethesda, blizzard, acti, EA, its like they came together and agreed that in order to maximize profits they must collectively fukk over consumers.

":scheme: in the end, they'll buy it anyway :manny:"



:mindblown:

Its the shareholders of these companies and the mobile gaming market.

The shareholders are not gamers. They only care about profit. They see the mindless mobile games making a lot of money with microtransactions/free to play scheme and they want that money.

I would say the majority of developers don't want to implement microtransactions/free to play scheme at full retail price, but they need funding for the games from the shareholders so they have to comply.

Its a tricky balance for developers.


The bigger issue is the predatory gambling methods these companies are using that prey on children. Specifically lootboxes.

The worst part of this shyt is the more money they make, the more they are expected to make with the next one. You cant have recorded breaking sells every fukking year, the shyt is unsustainable.

Developers will make an astronomical amount of money from a game and instead of celebrating, they will pressured to do better the next year.

Shareholders can actually sue these companies for not taking every possible step to make a product as profitable as possible. So you end up with shyt getting cut from games and sold as DLC and microtransactions to nickle and dime you for every last dollar.

It's no longer about how to make the best fallout game ever, it's about how can we top the money generated from fallout 4 as cheaply as possible.


Shareholders are poison to the economy, not just the gaming industry.

"Hello, we're sorry you aren't happy with the bag."
"The bag shown in the media was a prototype and was too expensive to make."
"We aren't planning on doing anything about it."
-Bethesda

:wow:Bethesda became one of the villains in Fallout New Vegas. Such poetry:ohlawd:. The amount of fukks not giving should be a badge of honor:banderas:
Ova on the FO76 Reddit they planning on making a Legendary Canvas Bag mod to put an in-game replica of that Collector’s Edition bag in the remotest part of the game’s map, just for fukkery :dead:
