If this couldn't get any worse. They actually DID make the canvas bag but gave them away for free to "Influential Fallout YouTubers and Streamers"
Is Bethesda at the Earth's core yet?

It's becoming more and more of a shitshow. I'm completely baffled how someone thought releasing a Fallout game with everything that made Fallout games interesting removed with a dated, buggy engine and send people a plastic carrier bag for $200 could ever be a good idea. It's bad decision after bad decison. Hopefully it doesn't kill off the Fallout franchise.

They pretty much copy/pasted Fallout 4's f***Ed up code where ever they could get away with it. Then they announced their using this same engine for ES6...I'm so good with not playing that.

It is still a different canvas bag. Every company gives journalists exclusive freebies and goodies when there is reunions/business meeting etc. It is scummy yes but literally every big company does it for every single big game. It is just disgusting how some companies will treat "influencers" better than the costumers

I'd be curious to know if the influencers who got the bag gave the game a bad review.
Or were they honest? Because I could easily see the well drying up if they trashed the game they've been given freebies for

Bethesda, not content with just pissing this whole show down their legs, is now actively shitting it down their legs as well. Impressive.

Between Bethesda and Tumblr, this is a hell of a month for watching simultaneous trainwrecks happen in real time.
I can't wait to watch Jim Sterling do a video on Bethesda accidentally doxxing its customers because you know it's coming.

For bonus points, it's going to turn out the bag is covered in small pox.

This is a lesson in incompetence, isn't it?
I don't think I've seen a company drop the ball so many times in such a short spell for the same product.

Man, much as it hurts as a huge fan of the previous three Fallout games, I'm glad I avoided this dumpster fire.
I think there are a few good things to take from this for future games, but by God there's a ton of examples of what not to do as well.

Focus on building cities/controlling settlements and bringing citizens. You want PVP? Let PVP,the current systme is awful and you cant interact with people. Want Multiplayer where players are the npcs?Give a reason to interact,unique items you can trade and missions where you have to hire player and choices matter,no dead raiders or npc trades like the super mutant. You want co-op? just make a co-op Fallout. They tried to please everyone and ended up with a single-player game with no story where sometimes you see another player walking by.

I wouldnt be surprised if that new studio that made fo76 gets a complete makeover or even closed. This is not pretty and the company is going to look for people to blame.

It's become like that SNL skit where Alec Baldwin is running for Senate and he keeps screwing up in worse and worse ways culminating with accidentally wiping his nose on a baby.

If you love schadenfreude in terms of seeing Triple A publisher arrogance leading to said publisher getting bit in the ass over and over again, Fallout 76 is the gift that keeps on giving.
