An in-game canvas duffel bag costs more by comparison, set at 700 Atoms. That’s $5 digitally to supplement a physical item worth more. In apologetic form, Bethesda allowed players to redeem 500 Atoms with proof of purchase to those effected. No e-mails or notifications of any kind, allowing the buyers to discover for themselves. Inside was a nylon bag instead, with a response from customer support stating that it was “due to unavailability of materials.” It wasn’t so much the item, but the surprise of it. Clearly being advertised that there would be a canvas duffel bag included, those who received their $200 package were less than thrilled. As mentioned previously with Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition, the helmet met many consumer’s expectations meanwhile, the bag had not. There is a checklist for this sort of thing, because everything that can possibly go wrong has gone wrong. There was a possible lawsuit due to deceptive practices with refunds, but was unfounded as far as we can gather. Despite all this, there is still more to sift through. Although, just over a week after launch is not good PR. Considering how underwhelming the game has been since launch, it’s not all that surprising to see during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Bethesda‘s website even offered the game at a reduced 33% off. What really made players mad were many retailers offering the game from 33-50% off during Black Friday. At least one outlet couldn’t even finish their review due to their experiences with Fallout 76. Most critic reviews were mediocre to bad, while user reviews were generally terrible. Once Fallout 76 had launched, reviews started really pouring in. While the helmet itself was pretty cool, having a small light on top and allowing you to change your voice, the bag was not. Unfortunately, we were unable to find any hard numbers, and this only includes physical copies sold.įor those who had received the Power Armor Edition, a helmet and duffel bag were included.

Out of the big four to come out the end of this year, it wound up fourth in sales during November. It’s obvious that Fallout 76 did not live up to the expectation of most players. Grand Theft Auto V has sold better this year than Fallout 76 did.
