YongYea - Gamers complaining that latest patch made the game even more grindy (a la Bungie on Destiny 2).

Fallout 76 is the comedy gift that keeps on giving.

I don't think that could've been stated any better.

Bethesda will be bringing Fallout 76, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot VR, RAGE 2 & Doom: Eternal to Steam...at some point:

It gets worse w/ Fallout 76.

Private Servers & Scrapbox aren't working properly.

YongYea video on this:

Notes:
- People are putting stuff in the Scrapbox for storage...are actually being used & consumed into thin air.
- Private servers...aren't so private.
- Anyone on your Friends List can join your so-called Private Server at anytime without Invitations given...
- ...which isn't good for those with huge Friends List.
- Supposedly, you were to give Invites out, to allow someone to join.
- Players have been picking off other "private" servers to grab gear, scrap & do quests/stuff.
- If Private Server owners leaves, non-subscribers to Fallout 1st can stay...and the server stays up.
- Supposedly, if a Private server owner leaves, only Fallout 1st members can stay to keep a server up.
- Private servers aren't on your own hardware, they are on Bethesda's servers.

Well, no wonder Bethesda's pushing hard more MTX's & probably needs $$...

They just went and bought another studio, Alpha Dog Games (who mostly do mobile games for iOS & Android):

So their answer to their dying game was to create a subscription service? That makes no sense to me

I can't believe this came out like a year ago.

Fallout 76's own Fallout 1st Subscribers have formed a group called the Apocalyptic Aristocracy:

Notes:
- Fallout 76's own Fallout 1st subscribers have started their own group, The Apocalyptic Aristocracy.
- About 300 members of this group so far.
- They wear some of FO76's fancy clothes (cosmetics that only FO76 1st subscribers can get), make semi-jokes, and look down on "peasants" (i.e. the Non-Fallout 1st players).
- This was originally a plan to have a "safe haven" for FO76 1st subscribers (b/c non-subscribers have been attacking Fallout 1st players like crazy in-game and/or throwing insults their way) to play and talk about FO 1st subscription topics, but has now become something more.
