I can't believe it was touch and go between me buying Red Dead or getting this lol. I suspect I made the right choice. Your sig would have been so fitting if you chose this game instead.

Well, it's uhhh ... better than nothing? "We're sorry for sending you a glorified garbage bag. Here's a pittance in digital currency that will only afford you cosmetic stuff as opposed to advanced weaponry."

Well, it's uhhh ... better than nothing? Not sure if it was intentional or not to do the Mighty No 9 reference there, but it works. This is the kinda thing that I'd expect from a badly-managed Kickstarter campaign, not from a triple-A studio. Oh, that was very much intentional. Looks like the canvas bag went the way of the Mighty No. 9 3DS version.

What happened to the other 72 Fallout games? Apparently they all sucked worse than this. Hope they have another elder scrolls game to pull out of there asses to generate some goodwill (not on mobile).

Angry Joe's got his thoughts on this: He made a followup with Del and Other Joe.

What if Fallout 76 is an elaborate plot by Todd Howard to kill the Fallout franchise so that only Skyrim would remain?

At least Andromeda was playable. Really? I actually returned Andromeda on Day 2 it was so offensively bad. The only game I’ve ever returned right after buying it. I can still play this. Maybe I’m lucky I haven’t hit any major bugs or anything.... it’s just boring.

I'd wager some marketing sack of crap said ,"You know we can turn this into a win! Give them some funny money but make sure it's not enough to actually buy anything cool. That way they will be tempted to get "just a little more" to buy that cool item... then we GOT UM HOOK LINE AND SINKER!"

So, bottom line is: I made the right choice by skipping this one?

Probably, along with, "if people take us to court for this blatant false advertising, we can avoid paying anyone who accepted the 500 atoms as compensation".

I don't really get what the basis in the refund complaint is. I mean, think about how many games you may have purchased in the past that were bad after you played it? How many were you able to get a full refund on? Almost no game company will refund your money if you're not happy with the product. That's just how it's set up. Is it fair? Not particularly. But this is an industry that is now predicated on the idea that a game will release with issues, and those issues will get worked on as time goes on. It sucks, but this is how it goes now. If Activision, if Capcom, if these companies wouldn't refund a game over anything other than technical issues that prevents someone from playing a game, then Bethesda isn't going to suddenly lose millions on this giving everyone refunds. The thing is, on PC, it actually is common for services to have a refund policy. Even big name services like Steam and Origin have refund policies. And that’s where the complaint is coming from, PC users for whom this is now a common part of their gaming experience. Ah, thanks for elaborating on that. I don't buy games often on PC, so I was unaware. And yeah, offering 500 in game currency that won't even buy an outfit that has a canvas bag is all sorts of schadenfreude. Man, Bethesda, you're f***ing up, Bros.

BTW Gamestop's listing for the FO76 $200 CE still advertises the canvas bag.
