A Civil War In The Wastelands

It’s official. Broke gamers have finally had enough. And if you’ve been looped in on the gaming news recently, you might have heard about the full-on civil war that’s been happening on Fallout 76.

Fallout 76 isn’t one of Bethesda’s best. The game launched this year with a ton of technical glitches and server problems, and Bethesda thought it can run away with it. Besides, this is not the first time someone is launching a game with so many server issues. However, it got so bad that the Australian government forced Bethesda Softworks’ parent company ZeniMax Media to refund Australians who are not satisfied with the product.

And guess what? Instead of fixing their game that people paid good dollars for, Bethesda thought, “Why don’t we release a subscription service that provides a premium service to unsatisfied players?”

And so, Fallout 1st was released, a $12.99-per-month subscription service that gives members access to private worlds, unlimited scrap box storage, and various add-ons and members-only exclusives.
