    If Bethesda/MS made a new game, or at least a remake to launch next to the show, they would be making bank right now. Instead they are barely seeing any money from ~5 dollar downloads of a 6 years old game. Lacking strategy/foresight like this is the reason while Sony is eating their lunch in the console game market.

      So, Bethesda is making money for doing nothing rather than investing millions of dollars and years of development. Hmmm…

        What you talking about? They’ve already spent billions of dollars and years of development making a game, just not a fallout game so they’re not getting any benefit from it.

      They’re raking in huge amounts of additional revenue across the franchise and its associated content, getting new F76 players in to their microtransaction store, etc. The last thing that they are doing right now is kicking themselves.

      And the show was actually good.
