Initially, fans were turned off by the fact that Fallout 76 eschewed so much of what made previous games in the franchise so good - meaningful dialogue, diverse characters, a deep story, and incredible player customization.
Fallout 76 is the multiplayer iteration of the franchise that Bethesda launched last year to a slew of issues, both technically and from a design standpoint, and the game has struggled to gain much traction ever since. Bethesda announced Fallout 76's premium subscription service, Fallout 1st, earlier this week, and the reception was predictable - fans really don't like it, and it's even cashing in on Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas to try to entice fans into picking up what is transparently a cash grab.
