Lexx Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) 12 bucks / month to play solo and get few trinkets. No thanks. Apparently it is also required to play with mods later? Trying to make more money off of the modding community again. Hilarious. Edited October 24, 2019 by Lexx 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Malcador Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hm, suspect they'll make some decent money on it. Gamer jihad aside. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I think Bethesda is trolling us at this point. Well played, Todd, well played indeed. On a serious note, the only way you can really justify that fee is the private server. These servers are not free to maintain and paying for private servers is not a new idea. That said, you can only have 8 players on a server (assuming there are still 8 players playing this game). Also, someone with a subscription has to be in the game at all times for the private server to function, so if 8 players want to play on a private server and be able to play any time they want, whether the other 7 are on or not, then all 8 would need to buy subscriptions. Also also, it would be one thing to do this for a game that was a smashing success and a media darling, it takes some balls to roll this out for a game that was almost universally panned by critics and gamers alike. Also also also, putting a quality of life feature like unlimited crafting storage that solves an artificially created problem behind a paywall is a super scumbag move. tl;dr Activision/Blizzard: "Did you see how quickly we nuked our reputation?"

Wormerine Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The most odd things about it: 1) There are people still playing Fallout76 2) There are people who will probably pay for the pass It's pretty much whale hunting at this point. Game is doomed beyond a chance of redemption, so lets milk as much as we can from the few suckers who still play it. Microtransactions must still bring money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell is all that about? "Hold my beer" is a phrase used when someone does something really stupid or crazy and then someone else comes along and seemingly tries to one up them by doing something even more stupid and crazy. The idea is that someone getting hammered drunk sees someone else do something really foolish that gets attention and, in a drunken stupor, decides to one up them and asks the person next to them to "hold their beer" while they proceed to do something even more foolish.
