Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show
zoostation@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’ve played over 200 hours of Fallout 76 without spending a dime. It’s got more content than Fallout 4 by now and you don’t even have to care about multiplayer. Saying they don’t want to make games is just stupid.

I’m not sure what your point is - is it that they made Fallout 76 so you could play it for free? Or that Fallout 76 is proof they’re going to make Fallout 5? Or what.

There’s zero chance there won’t be a Fallout 5 but Elder Scrolls is their next major game, so it won’t be soon. In the meantime there’s a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5. It doesn’t require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don’t know what it is.

If it came out tomorrow it wouldn’t be “soon,” Fallout 4 came out 11 years ago.
The game is currently listed for $39.99 on Steam. Reviews are “mixed” after 5 years of Bethesda adding content to the game, which originally released to overwhelmingly negative reviews, so not “great”.
The game does not charge for a subscription, but you most certainly have to have one, because you have to login to the game. There would be no way for them to try and sell you shit through their microtransaction store every single time you login otherwise. Which they do. You are not obliged to buy them, but you are obliged to view ads for them.
Now then. Every single thing you just said is demonstrably wrong. What exactly makes you the authority on what Bethesda intends to do with Fallout?

Sometimes I forget people don’t have Game Pass lol. I haven’t bought anything from Steam in over 5 years.
