""live service"" wallet drainer ad games biggest problem arises when they succeed, the more success the worse. like gta online, ever since it became a big thing, single player support and expansions completely stopped from rockstar. even after 4's winning awards, how loved undead nightmare was, they could give less of a fuck. they become completely predatory and every element of customization will be 5 dollars, minimum, if it has a bigger dick than other characters, 30 up. 76 and the skyrim remakes at the end of the day if we're being real are the supporter's fault, even after the shit storm 76 got and how dead it got, it's still going fine. there wouldn't be a skyrim remake meme if people didn't buy it on every console.Even as someone whose taste is so low bar that I'm generally accepting of Fallout 4 (It's very flawed, but not the end of the world), I find Fallout 76 to be a completely trashfire that even respected the setting less. The problem with live service game is that it's designed so there will be new content forever, and most of the time it'll jump the shark because the incentive to 'just add something .
Even before the troon characters, I find Fallout 76 reliance on 'radiation magic creating giant monsters' to be too overdone, stuff like Wendigo for example - and its too themepark-y treatment of the game, which I found to be a problem as well.
a lot of redditors, or "fans", will defend everything and say how people need to be so nice to devs and understand choices, but the only actual option for the shit is to karen tf out, forever. creation club being brought back and people not karening out as hard as the first time was a mistake, buying all their shit and funneling money to 76 thinking that increases odds of another, better fallout game and not more avenues to funnel your money in 76 for more time is retarded. it's part of the retarded niceness in society that led to troons etc, and people in general have been way too accepting of loot box shit, (children's toys have widely incorporated it, too), games going up 30+ by nin"fucka you gonna do about it luigi ima the only dick in town now"-tendo, companies foaming at the mouth and retroactively rising them even on steam etc
76 was only ever a fallout slot machine that at best will help fund elder scrolls: we wuz kangs
