    Bethesda, simply put, doesn’t know how to react to criticism. Instead of taking this feedback and improving their product they double-down and insist that you should like it because they said so. If it’s boring it’s boring man. They are simply as disconnected as possible. Remember the whole canvas bag fiasco? Then they said “ah, canvas costs too much, we aren’t planning on doing anything with the nylon one”… deal with it in other words. Then they were puzzled why people disliked them to all hell.

      I can’t believe how ignorant you are of the worldwide canvas shortage of 2018. Canvas became a global strategic resource. Lack of canvas destabilized numerous nation states.

      The idea of frivolously wasting that precious canvas on a video game trinket is frankly offensive.

      -Bethesda, probably.

            Well, there is a class action lawsuit against them in regards to that and other things FO76 related.

              Dont forget about the moldy helmet, how fun.

              (it was only for some exclusive edition, not the normal collector helmet, but still)

                Yup. And shitty plastic shell for the rum. Then people who requested refund got their info and CC numbers leaked by their system which they took offline immediately.

      they took the criticism of fallout 76 and continued working on it, still getting updates to this day when most other places would have left it to rot

        I’m not 100% sure but I think FO76 is maintained by BGS Austin. They seem to be far more interested in taking feedback and making the game better than the main Bethesda studio. FO76 may be fundamentally flawed but post-launch it’s definitely getting more care than Skyrim, FO4 and Starfield combined.
