Many retailers are getting recalls for their regular copies of the game. Either Bethesda had a really cushy return policy or they plan on doing something like free to play real soon. Last time I can think of that happening was Evolve.

Last time I can think of that happening was Evolve. FTP might be best thkng for it. Noone is gonna buy it now. But FTP might give it a kick start amd get people to buy some dlc or expansions.

Honestly haven't played the game but given the crap Bethseda received I'd pull a FF XIV and either rehaul the game or cut their losses.

I don't even think pulling a Realm Reborn would work for Fallout 76. FFXIV was a mess but there was still 11 and FF fans are very loyal. I think everyone is starting to get sick of Bethesda's shit honestly.

Really even if they go free-to-play at this juncture I just think it'd be inviting more bad press. The game's only been out for three months and got a ton of marketing trying to push it, plus it's already been on sale multiple times; I feel like they'd need to come up with a way to give some kind of incentive to people who already have it just to avoid accusations of ripping people off, and something like, "Here, have more items in this game you already don't play!" wouldn't cut it.
Honestly I'd say they should maybe consider farming out for a quickie port of New Vegas to give out for free for a time or something (and of course sell besides that) but they'd probably come up with a way to f*** that up too.

They'd probably pull an Activision, and try to charge for the DLC for New Vegas, or pull a Bethesda and it has fatal glitches. Probably both.

Square Enix's disaster with FF14 also was, in part, made some heads roll at the top including the CEO. Unless Bethesda makes those sorts of changes at the top with executives and project leads, it's gonna keep on Bethesda-ing.

So apparently now they've arguably added a pay-to-win element that they're denying but people are freaking out over. I don't really know which side has it right on what it is exactly but either way, man this game just cannot win.

This is the company that tried to monetize user-created mods not once, but twice. Even after the first attempt resulted in a huge backlash and they backed off.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they put in a p2w element into FO76 because they're probably to the point where they're trying to monetize whatever they can in order to salvage any sort of revenue from the thing.

"Scheduled to release in the weeks following Patch 8, there will be two types of Repair Kits available: Basic and Improved. According to Bethesda, Improved Repair Kits "are rare items that [Bethesda] plan to award to you for free as you take on various types of in-game content", while Basic Repair Kits "will be unlockable in the Atomic Shop using Atoms you’ve purchased or those you’ve earned for free by completing in-game challenges".
It sounds like the start of a slippery slope towards Pay to Win. I'm guessing atoms, like most in game currency, are very difficult to earn in game.

Eh...Atoms are fairly easy to come by through the challenges the game offers. I'm currently sitting on what would be $40 worth right now with zero plans on using them.

Seems like this addition isn't too bad then. I haven't played, but assumed Atoms would be pretty difficult to get. Kinda like how most games with in-game currencies seem to have an easy to get one that's pretty worthless, and then some that are hard to get to basically get you to get your wallet out.

Remember the good old days when Bethesda's biggest problem was all the glitches from their old-ass game engine.
