To paraphrase an old Todd in the Shadows video, the production of this game is like Bethesda tried to make breakfast and instead managed to catch Syphilis

I can’t wait until they add the NPCs and it somehow causes people’s consoles to explode.

I'd be shocked if Bethesda's still around by next year, especially after the moldy helmet problem. Nah Bethesda has more than enough in the pipeline to weather this. Remains to be seen what another massive failure like this would do to them though. Mark my words they WILL abandon support for this game next year, though . The people who really ought to worry about the helmet thing are the manufacturer. They're very lucky nobody actually got sick.

Bethesda had a ton of goodwill despite the buggy messes they would release, because at least the game itself was usually good.
That's all gone now after this and that godawful Wolfenstein game.

The moldy helmet issue has nothing to directly do with Bethesda, at least. The maker of the helmets is a company called Chronicle and it was exclusively sold to Gamestop. The most Bethesda had to do with it was licensing it out to them.
But yeah, I'm shocked how everything related to this game goes to shit. And Bethesda ain't going anywhere. FO76 is a disaster, but Elder Scrolls Online is one of the most successful MMO's on the market along with World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV. And you know Elder Scrolls VI is going to be huge unless it's a similar disaster to FO76. Doom Eternal's also in the pipeline and that looks wonderful.

The biggest issue here is Bethesda MONTREAL,which is their mobile and Fallout 76 department.And they last products are: Elder Scroll Blades and Fallout 76...yeah.I actually had a job interview with hen haha,would be interesting to see how it is there.

ID has been Bethesda's saving grace through all this, granted "Wolfenstein: Youngblood" didn't go over quite as well as they had hoped, but that was an out-of-nowhere game and with Doom: Eternal on the horizon, that's the sole game keeping Bethesda's spot.
I think they need to be thrown back on the floor at E3 this year, no streamed/televised presentation. Lay low, get your shit together, and work on something truly special to try to repair your reputation. Right now, they've gone from "loveable, buggy Bethesda" to LOLBethesda.

My friend who works at Bethesda(specifically Bethesda.Net), internally shared his thoughts on this gloriously with this, “I already have three subscription services that I pay for and never use, why would anyone pay for a subscription service for a game no one even plays.”

They even made the Ranger armor available just for subscribers...that Obsidian designed for Bethesda...because they wouldn't let them design new power armors for New Vegas...all announced the week Obsidian releases The Outer Worlds.
The goddamn balls on these guys, man...

The goddamn balls on these guys, man... The amazing thing is, for just $2 more a month, you can get the Game Pass Ultimate for Xbox One and PC(or just $10 a month for basic Game Pass minus Xbox Live Gold on Xbone, so $3 cheaper), and Game Pass grants you access to Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and very, very soon, The Outer Worlds. All much, much better alternatives to playing Fallout 76.

It's different development teams (Zenimax Online Studios vs. Bethesda proper), but it baffles me how well-run ESO is compared to how much of a trainwreck Fallout 76 is.

At this point, if they have an E3 presentation this year, it's just gonna be Todd Howard running around the stage flipping everybody off.

Just to make it clear,fallout 76 isn't Bethesda "Proper" but their montreal sub-division Not sure if the calls for the awful monetization is from the main studio or the montreal. one.

Jim Sterling was the first person I thought of when I saw this trending on twitter and he did not disappoint.
