Current Events > Bethesda strikes again. Huge data breach.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've literally never played a game of Fallout in my life but my god this is the greatest shitstorm I've ever witnessed and I'm glad I can watch it from afar.
---

So what exactly can those effected by this breach do? Are they only gonna get a sorry and the company moves on. They won't get any compensation for their info being put out there?

the compensation is never buying a Bethesda game again

Summary of Bethesda since launch from Reddit

Yup. Pretty much sums it up.

Game riddled with bugs and serious exploits
Radio silence from the community manager
Finally get some contact, only for the patch to make things worse
Game slashed to basically half price barely a week or two after launch
False-advertising for the bag in the first place
Realise influencers got the canvas bags and VIP treatment for free, while loyal fans got nylon bags for $200
500 atom compensation
Major privacy breach through their support tickets

Actually the VIP bags were like, backpacks. But yep, made of canvas and they had a few dozen for all the VIPs.
---

Best comment I saw on Reddit about it:

Bethesda exec: "wow I wish this bag shit would blow over already"

*finger curls back on the monkeys paw*

Anyway the issue was solved quickly but still yikes

Holy shit. I cant wait for their next E3 presentation. It's going to be hilarious.

Todd is going to get booed out of the building lol.
---

All this because of a canvas shortage.

They better bitch out like sony did.
---

Cant spell Bethesda without Bugthesda.
---

Nah Todd wouldn't get boo'd off stage. All they have to do is show an actual trailer/reveal for Starfield or ESVI and then talk about single player, no voiced protagonist, mod support and everyone will be right back on the bandwagon
---

So they decided to ship the bags people paid for to avoid a lawsuit. Now they've exposed sensitive information inviting a much more serious lawsuit. Get fucked Bethesda.
---

Booed off the stage? Fucking EA gets cheers at E3 for showing some developers working in an office

They'll probably do a Sony and give you a year of "credit protection" and never speak of it again
---

Oh yeah Sony had one of those too didn't they? They recovered just fine

It's actually alarming how little the general public cares about data privacy

I feel bad for everyone that got hit by this. It's not their fault Bethesda decided to majorly fuck up.

I dont. Anyone dumb enough to buy AAA trash like Bethesda deserves this wake up call lol.

true facts

Privacy is something we can no longer afford to care about. It's something we're forced to live with now.

So, FO76 has had the undisputed worst release ever, right? Yeah, No Man's Sky failed to deliver on a bunch of promises, but it was never fucked up on this scale

Diablo 3 still holds that title imo

Privacy died in the early 2010s

My copy came from Amazon so I'm safe!

Right...? >.>

This leak is related to people wanting the new bag, it got nothing to do with buying the game.

Just got done playing it so yeah it's still good.

You can like something and joke about mishaps associated with it at the same time you know. It's not an either/or proposition.

It just keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going...

Wonder what the next "And Going" is gonna be...
---

lol Bethesda has proven time and again they are incompetent when it comes to programming so this isn't much of a surprise.

It has to be undisputed now that Fallout 76 is gamings biggest flop of 2018.

If this doesn't destroy their reputation, nothing will.

PSN has had countless breaches like this and they seem to be doing just fine

Bethesda sucks but let's be real if ES6 comes out and ends up being a great game you guys will just act as if none of this happened lol

Nope. I will be suspicious of Bethesda from this point on. Ill still get it, and probably enjoy it, but they can kiss any preorders or deluxe purchases goodbye, as Bethesda has officially entered into wait for a sale territory, and most of my friends have expressed similair sentiments.

Imagine actually being dumb enough to buy this game when everything pre-release pointed to it being utter shit.

Throwing shade at you @Vyrulisse
---

The important take away from all this is that their next game is still gonna fly off the shelves.
---

This game is the biggest disaster of the generation.

This whole fo76 debacle is worse than the battlefront 2 incudende.

How do you go from an AAA game developer to less than indie trash (reputation wise) within a year?

They've been a shit tier dev since Oblivion, Fanboys just refused to accept it. Now you see the extent of their incompetence since they have to offer an actual service.

This. You people were mocking and jeering us Morrowind fans when we were pointing this shit out to you, and that was years ago.

the bf2 thing is overblown imo. Sure hte game was basically pay to win, but a lot of games are nowadays no matter how they try to hide it

and for some reason i keep playing it.

with rdr2 and god of war nearly untouched sitting in my drawer.

it just werks

This game is the gift that keeps on giving. If you didnt buy it of course. If you did then you get to brighten some scammers Christmas by buying them gifts with your credit card info. Seriously is the company ran by a high school intro to programming class?
