Yeah this is the short of shit that's really indefensible. Even if you think the game is perfect and the implementation and price of the private servers are perfect.... this is gross.

Bethesda introduces Fallout 1st - a $99 1-year membership for Fallout 76

Reminds me a lot of ESO's sub (especially the 1650 paid currency per month). Not at all shocked.
Of course the fucking NCR Ranger outfit is locked behind a fucking paywall. I saved up all my Atom bullshit currency waiting for it and now it just doesn't exist for me. Fuck them just for that.
Also refusing to improve the game without demanding more cash is not what they should be doing. I held the opinion that if Bethesda did the work to fix the game they could have turned it around but not like this.

1) Is this real life?
2) I'm looking forward to Jim Sterling's video of him laughing maniacally for then minutes.

Player count is probably low, so why not rent the unused servers. But it's a joke that they remove access to your server if you log out, and don't allow mods, one of the main reasons people would pay for this. It's paying for a server that is not really yours. You are paying for a game mode.
Pretty much this. And it's half the price compared to this. And it's not a subscription. Also it seems to be a much better game too.
The good thing is: Bethesda isn't the only game in town these days, so to speak.
Still terrible to see what happened to them over the years. Oh well. Maybe they will right the ship but I feel like they are looking at their old games and thinking "I can't believe people bought this/that game for a decade plus and we never figured out a way to bleed more money out of them!! Need to change that asap!"
Probably wracking their brains trying to put some slick micro's into ES6 lmao

There are quite a few people who will pay this. The whales in r/fo76filthycasuals are already signing up for a year's sub. Also plenty of people saying they'll subscribe in the main sub r/fo76, although most posters say they will stay free. My guess is that this will turn into something like ESO. Wastelanders will be free (probably), but every major content drop afterwards will be something you have to buy. The game will be f2p or available for a low price, while the major QoL improvements will be locked behind the sub.
Can they at least fix the damn game some more before introducing this kind of thing?
And that whole non 1st members gets kicked out if owner leaves doesn't help.

I dont know, it was not my comparison nor i was not responding to it.
I still don't understand why they're called "whales" and not "cows".

Because fishing a whale is much better than hunting a ton of little fish.
Wow. They must have some really dependable whales or they are going HAM with the sunk cost fallacy.
When I first saw this earlier, I thought it was a joke. I can't believe they're locking Private Worlds (and to an extent the ability to mod those, as mods seemingly only will work in Private Worlds) behind a subscription - and an expensive subscription at that. If it was ~$20-$30 a year then I could kind of see what they're 'trying' to do... BUT $100 a year or ~$13 a month is just daylight robbery. I wonder if they'll end up changing or backtracking on anything after the backlash I'm assuming this has already received and will continue to?
Damn, Bethesda's goodwill & influence has disintegrated to a point where IGN is roasting them and openly Outer Worlds instead.
The only logical reason for any of this: Blizzard paid a LOT of money to Bethesda to make their issues disappear from public perception, which Bethesda could use since there's no way FO76 will finance Starfield/TESVI
A sub for this game is crazytown, especially as long as there's no content worth the asking price. They absolutely intend to release all upcoming DLC and content expansions behind this paywall and alternatively a'la carte for TESO prices, which is ALSO insane in comparison. How did it happen that all of these OG legacy PC studios who once were the greats care so goddamn little about their games and players these days. God this all sucks.

This is just baffling. Bethesda has really reached a new low. This makes me worry about Starfield and TES6. I know they're completely different game types but this is just ridiculous. How they've gone from skyrim, to even playing to their own jokes with skyrim remastered, to this... is just... Baffling.
A lot do, but I'd imagine this ploy only exists because there are current diehard players. Bethesda knows there are people playing now who would be willing to pay for this shit. I wish it wasn't so though. There are so many other games to play but there still are people who choose to return to F76 and support it.
Oh wow, I thought I saw a meme about this on Reddit but didn't know it was real. Not sure how I feel about this though I haven't even played the game in a couple months. I never hated it, just got boring after a while.
This comes on the same day I started wondering if Fallout 76 was worth playing yet. Incredible.
On the upside, you got a 12 USD worth of private server for free!
