Fallout 76 Proves Loyal Support Doesn’t Always Help

Support Isn’t Always Support

Gaming would be nothing without its fans. Fans are what keep the business running. It’s fans who support a series or studio in its infancy, and it’s fans that keep them alive through dedicated financial support and enthusiastic endorsements. This unwavering support is usually a boon to game makers, but not always. Sometimes support can have the opposite effect, damaging a studio instead of bolstering it. The release of a half-baked game is one of these times. Supporting such a game is the same as telling the studio that it’s okay to keep delivering their products in that state. So rather than blindly support a poorly-made game, fans should consider simply letting it fail.

Fallout 76 is perfect example of a game that fans are better off just letting go of. As most are probably already aware, the game released in a very broken state; so broken and poorly implemented in fact that one could easily argue that it’s only half-finished. The wider gaming community has been in a state of outrage ever since, and that anger keeps growing with every new development. Despite all of this, Fallout 76 still has a core of avid supporters who insist that the game is great and that everyone else is making a big deal out of nothing. These supporters have every right to enjoy their game, and more power to them if they are.  However, their form of support isn’t doing any favors for either themselves or Bethesda.
