[Rant] Bethy-Open-Your-Wallets-Thesda
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
nukawhit Bethesda just introduced a paid sub service to have the privilege of hosting a private Fo76 server.
For $100 a year / 12.99 a month.
On top of the $60 you payed up front.
And the $18 a piece power-armor recolors, the $5 'time savers' (why are time savers gated behind a paywall??? In other fallout games you could just... craft them...?).
The game is still broken. Performance is as you would expect an online Fallout game to be w/the current engine. (Not Good.)
Oh, and the content you want -- NPCs -- is delayed.
(But you get some NCR combat armor! Which proves they could've done NV tie ins to all their games all this time!!! Also fuck the lore!)
I can't believe what Bethesda is doing with the Fallout license. It's making me actively .. dislike Fallout. And be disappointed. And sad. And that takes A LOT. We could've gotten another spin-off title and we got this instead.

I'm so glad I decided not to care about 76 when it came out.
