As if the Fallout subreddit was not already hectic enough, this story suggests that Bethesda gave free canvas bags to Fallout 76 influencers at its Greenbrier promo event.

The event was meant to give content creators and influencers an opportunity to experience Fallout 76first, as well as to convince them that it is worth playing. Those attending would have had no way to know about the bait-and-switch that would occur a month later, yet Bethesda may very well have.

What were they to do? There was a shortage of materials. The world ran out of canvas.

Bethesda PR: "it was too expensive to produce a lot of them. It wasn't too expensive to produce some of them. We don't plan on doing anything about it."

To expensive to give to everyone . Enough for the people who get it for free, not enough for the people who pay $200.

I didn't think it was possible for this company to look any more sleazy

Oh my god this is like one of the best train rides in a long time.

The gift that keeps on giving.

Guess its not too expensive to "influence" influencers.

It's kind of amazing how things keep getting worse and worse

You'd think at some point the bad things would halt for a bit, like staying in the bottom of the pit for a while before digging any deeper
