What? From what I remember, Bethesda was pretty upfront about what content would be included in the season pass. I honestly don't see this lawsuit going anywhere.

TheColbertinator1159d ago

Seems advantageous to the moment but I greatly hate paid mods so we'll see what happens.

Lore1159d ago

Please tell me that the modders themselves who do all the work get a portion of the pay at the very least?

Rachel_Alucard1159d ago (Edited 1159d ago )

@lore
Nope, they get a flat fee while Bethesda rakes in all the cash. This resulted in just asset flips and lower effort items for it's content like a piece of gear or model rather then anything anyone would ever pay for. Not that I want to see paid mods ever grow, but the fact is the only reason you would sign up for this thing is the money or publicity and it pays neither well so there is no advantage for you.

RazzerRedux1159d ago

"Seems advantageous to the moment...."

No, this lawsuit began in 2019 before anyone knew anything about MS possibly taking them over.

Darkborn1159d ago

Can't wait for the next lawsuit Microsoft is buying. It's like number 4 or 5 now since they announced the acquisition i believe and they had one before Microsoft tried buying them.

metalgod881158d ago

The creation club was such a scam dude. Overpriced content and not even really worth the cost. I loved fallout 4 and the 'official' DLC content, but man, the Creation Club was such a rip off. No EULA agreement + a promise that all DLC was included in the season pass. That doesn't bode well for Bethesda. They better hope they're able to merge with Microsoft, or things are going to get ugly.

Knightofelemia1158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

A gamer buys the Season Pass all DLC even the Creation Club should be included. Bethesda not including the Creation Club in away is violating an agreement they made with those who purchased the Season Pass. The gamer who buys that Season Pass is like a contract between you and Bethesda no different then signing the agreement when getting a new phone. That purchase of the Season Pass is like a signature between both parties and agreeing as to how this plays out I am curious.

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 15h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 11h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii2d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo2d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows902d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19891d 15h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus1d 6h ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha2d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno2d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan2d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno1d 23h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19812d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6691d 15h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19811d 10h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
