Bethesda Faces Backlash Following Fallout 76 Bag Apology
There’s already enough controversy surrounding Fallout 76, but now there’s even more for fans to be angry about. This has to do with the game’s Power Armor Edition, which was originally advertised as including a Canvas West Tek Duffel Bag. However, customers did not get what they paid for and instead got a bag made out of a cheap-quality nylon.
Bethesda changed the Power Armor Edition’s description to reflect this change in material, but this was after many had already pre-ordered it. This has rightfully caused an uproar, and now the company is doing what they can to minimize the damage. They posted an apology, but it was not well-received. They posted the following on Reddit (via DualShockers):
“The Bethesda Store’s Support member is a temporary contract employee and not directly employed by Bethesda or Betehsda Game Studios. We apoligize to the customer who took the time to reach out. The support response was incorrect and not in accordance with our conduct policy. Unfortunately, due to unavailability of materials, we had to switch to a nylon carrying case in the Fallout 76: Power Armor Edition. We hop this doesn’t prevent anyone from enjoying what we feel is one of our best collector’s editions.”
They have since edited the post to add that they are going to provide 500 Atoms to Power Armor Edition purchasers, as that apology post really only aggravated fans even more. 500 atoms likely won’t do much to change anything, as that only comes out to $5 worth of in-game currency.
Fallout 76 is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The company recently posted an update revealing that millions of players are playing the game, despite the countless issues that the game has.
Blizzard couldn’t expect it to be flawless, could they? The Ultimate Edition’s four days of early access to Diablo 4 on PS5 and PS4 has caused many license errors. Blizzard may not be able to fix Sony’s issue, which is preventing them from playing.
“We are seeing reports regarding PlayStation users experiencing Invalid License errors,” community manager PezRadar writes. We’re investigating and will update.” PC and Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One players have been able to play since the game launched less than an hour ago, suggesting a Sony flaw.
Only the Ultimate Edition of Diablo 4 has early access, with the full launch on June 6, 2023. After accessing Diablo 4, consult our guide. Do you have licensing issues like PS5, PS4 players?
A new sizzle reel promises gameplay for games we’ve been waiting for at Ubsoft’s annual Forward showcase on June 12 at 10 am PT / 6 pm BST. Expect live updates on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and The Crew Motorfest during the French publisher’s spotlight.
Publisher showcases are now commonplace. Over the next week and a half, we’ll be eating well as E3 announces exciting video games.
Ubisoft’s Forward event—what are you hoping to see?
The Expanse: A Telltale Series will release its first five episodes on PS5 and PS4 on July 27. New gameplay footage was released in a trailer.
This isn’t the original Telltale team, which imploded two years ago in a twist many saw coming. Deck Nine and LCG Entertainment are developing and publishing The Expanse, a hermit-crabbing game.
If you missed that hot moment when we were swimming in episodic narrative content, your chance is coming. The Expanse: A Telltale Series: your thoughts? Try this doppelganger?
