A frustrated gamer buys the domain to a Fallout 76 website to criticise developers Bethesda

Ironically, I bought a T-shirt with the Fallout 76 logo on it but never bought the game. I simply don't wish to play Fallout with others. A friend at work bought the game on day one and liked it well enough. He was a proponent of the game until Bethesda released their subscription plan. Now he's officially done with the game and plans to buy The Outer Worlds once he's tired of Borderlands.

On the surface, it isn't a bad plan. Having your own server to build on with friends would be awesome and would actually make me buy the game. However, they are not private servers like all of us have probably rented and administrated on in our lives, they are private instances. You can't modify the server in any way. Where's the fun in that? Maybe Bethesda will get their collective heads out of their butts and allow true dedicated servers one day. The reason their games thrive are the modding community. Live Service games are a dead end.

I would argue it's a terrible plan. The game is still to this day a buggy mess thats missing content. Why not make it at least work consistently before you try to sell people on more features (that are broken on day 1 as well)
