Fallout 76 was a mess back in the day. You'd think that Bethesda would be discouraged by all the negative feedback, but the game is celebrating its fourth anniversary... so that means there's still people who play this game.
You wouldn't be the only one to be surprised to hear that there's still people playing Fallout 76, even after the downright horrible start that it had. Argue all you want that bugs are a part of Bethesda and make a Bethesda game, but that game was just downright unplayable in the early days. Not to mention the flashbacks we're getting from having our bases destroyed by a minor with a username that back in millennial childhood days, they would have gotten an ass whopping for.
Despite all of this, there's still people playing this game, so much so, that Fallout 76 has reached its fourth anniversary and is getting quite the big upgrade. Somebody explain.
Like, don't get me wrong, from a Fallout fan's (at least Fallout 4) perspective, this roadmap looks pretty good, but I think what happened early on in the game just ruined it for all eternity for me.
No content could make me start playing this game again. But then again, this isn't about one individual, namely me. This is about the whole fanbase and apparently, that fanbase is still big enough to warrant an update of this size. Though I wouldn't necessarily call an average of 6,000 players a month huge.
Is Bethesda really making so much money with Fallout 76 and the few who still play it, or are they desperately trying to bring up the numbers with an update like this until The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield release? We all know the next Fallout won't be happening for a while, so everything to stay relevant, I guess.
Does Bethesda have a TikTok account, by the way? I'm sure Todd Howard doing cute TikTok dances would rake in as much money as Fallout 76 does.
