“We were a little surprised how few people wanted to take part in PvP and how many more they were interested in PvE together.”
Fallout has always been a single-player experience. It was always been you against this desolate post-apocalyptic world. That’s why it’s so strange that the Bethesda team failed to understand their core audience. It’s the problem that happens when a company has its head so far up its own ass that it becomes disillusioned to the reality of its own and its own products.
Fallout 76 has been a failure and Bethesda has spent much of its run on cleanup duty. Even at E3 the Fallout section of the booth was a ghost town with a smattering of players trying of the new Wastelanders DLC that was available.
The Wastelanders DLC is what Bethesda hopes can salvage a game that was as low as $10 on sale less than a year on store shelves. It promises to gives fans the basics of a Fallout game. But with Outerworlds out and doing well, it is too little too late for Fallout 76, the only Fallout game I’ve gone out of my way to avoid?
