For the low price of $100 annually

If you want to play in a private world in Fallout 76 it will cost you.

Bethesda has introduced Fallout 1st, a premium membership service which sets you up in a private world for Fallout 76.

Broken down, its similar to MMO pricing and offerings, only instead of playing with the general population youre getting a private server of sorts. This private world can handle up to eight players total, and only the person hosting the world is required to have a Fallout 1st membership.

For $99 per year, or $12.99 per month you will be handed exclusive items and some cash to spend in the Atom Shop.

Heres what youll get for your money:



Youll also get a Survival Tent, as noted above. This allows you to set up a base while out wandering the world. It comes with a Stash, Sleeping Bag, Scrapbox, Cooking Station, and an instrument. It will also act a fast travel point in addition your main C.A.M.P.

Bethesda said it may change or rotate the icons, emotes, outfits and other cosmetic and utility items available to keep things fresh for members.

While it sounds a bit expensive, the price is comparative with the cost of a private server, depending on the service you use.

It is available for those playing on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

I really didn't think it could get worse

In keeping with everything that has been fallout 76. Yes. Yes it is.
---

Lol Bethesda can go fuck themselves
---

"Guys, no one is playing our game anymore...you know what would bring people back? A subscription service!"
---

I wonder how the people who still defend this game will excuse this.
---

I feel like anyone who would have paid for this have already completed everything the game has to offer by now
---

As a shill, I can't even defend this bullshit. What the fuck, bethesda?

---

Good luck finding 7 other people playing this game.
---

How long does it take for a dumpster fire to burn out?
---

I re downloaded this game the other day to see if anything changed and I loaded into that resort place with all the shops. It still takes a minute for all of the robots to load in and I heard them fighting enemies when they weren't even loaded into the game yet along with low texture resolutions what a joke game.

are people actually buying this shit?

i want to see numbers

What really traumatizes me is that this appears to be the best way to make money.

How naive I was 10 years ago when I thought gaming was going to get better and better as the years went by.

Yeah this is why elitists care about what other people buy, coz it affects the stuff developers make

Simple. Millions of other shills keep playing and buying their shit.

When will there be a Fallout 76 Battle Pass

And, like, so do those other 7 people get to play in the private world for free?
---

Is it possible to ruin 76 even more?

Yeah, really. You would think they would have gone free to play after a while to up the in-game population and increase microtransaction purchases and whatnot. Instead they decide to.. not even double down, sextuple? down on the stupid. Maybe even more than that, it's hard to keep track at this point lol.
---

The more subtle kick in the nuts is that they've using New Vegas' Ranger Armor as a dangling carrot :/
---

I honestly don't see the issue with this one.

That's my biggest question, too. I can't say I'm super familiar with the game beyond all of the controversy, but it'd help if the thing that they're pushing to make more money off of their game is something that people actually want. They knew exactly how badly this would be received and decided it was worth it because enough people would spend the money, but will they really?

How much for single-player offline?

surprised it doesnt include an option to also buy skyrim
---

Lol, console versions as well, ouch!!!! 160 a year.

---

Not sure why everyone is shitting on Bethesda for this, it's a really smart move on their part. It'll bring in hundreds of dollars of additional revenue a year. Maybe even a thousand dollars of revenue.

TC you shouldnt present Onion articles as factual reports

You know what? This.
All this is, is a publisher catching on to the concept of private servers. $100/yr for instant setup and maintenance may be worth it, over the hassle of rolling up one's own private server.

When your shitty online game is so bad that nobody will play it when it's free, obviously the next thing you do is charge $13/mo for it

Get the ten people who actually want a '76 private server, and there's enough revenue for a company cookout, in the parking lot.

The actual idea isn't bad. On another game, I'd kind of like this.

I still play 76. Won't be paying for a server anytime soon. Also a little miffed they acted like private servers and mods would be free pre launch.

Oh well, I still enjoy the game, and I'm not gonna shit on anyone that pays for this. It's their money
