All a Todd Howard plot to ruin Fallout London

[izibane]

Nice timing, cant be outshun by a mod made by hobbyists surely

Yeah 100% agree but the update will probably stop F4 from working at all like most their updates lol

Not if you are not using mods. I have zero concerns of that happening because I don't use mods.

They tried to stop them by hiring some of the devs, didn't work.

Mods are not official content.
Thus the devs of the game the mods are for are not obligated or required to ensure the update doesn't break the mods.

EULA we all agreed to states the devs may update the game at anytime.
Not liking this because it breaks our mods does not change the fact that the devs have every right to do what they are doing.

I don't like it either as I have 180+ mods that are going to break, but I know and recognize that I have no say and I'm going to have to hope the mod makers can or will update their mods.

I will be skipping london for now. I need that ultrawide support of the next gen version.

Honestly you should probably just change the title of this to "Entitlement: Why my backside hurts because I can't understand ALL video games aren't commisioned, custom made products, just for me and my gaming experience."

I don't care about mods, I paid for the game, so I want oficial updates with new content.

Reckon F4 is about to get pirated a lot so people can play London.

This is why developers sometimes get caught saying they don’t care about pleasing their players - it’s an impossible task.

They release an update > mods break > people complain, threaten, cry, and talk ♥♥♥♥

They don’t release an update > people complain, threaten, cry, and talk ♥♥♥♥

The timing has nothing to do with some conspiracy against FOLON or modders in general.

The release date of the update is two weeks after the premiere of the show. More than enough time for people to watch it, and a time period within which any renewed interest from former players, influx of new players, and money spending within FO76 is going to be at its peak.

Releasing the FO4 update to coincide with the show’s debut would’ve put FO4 and FO76 in direct competition with one another over players’ attention.

BGS knows that FO4 is still popular and retains a pretty impressive player count for a 8+ year old singleplayer game.

But FO4 isn’t monetized.

How much money you can spend in FO4 is finite, whereas you can perpetually spend money in FO76.

BGS wanted to first capitalize on the uptick in FO popularity through their live service game before any of the others. They wanted to push people towards FO76 first, and giving former players a reason to return to FO4 and new players an added incentive to consider FO4 would’ve undercut this and diminished potential new profits.

BGS has no reason to resent or try and sabotage the FOLON release. It generates interest in FO4, motivates people to play and come back to FO4, will and has likely motivated new purchases of FO4, and - even though they played no part in its development - FOLON will make BGS look good and earn them some degree of credit for creating a game with the kind of modding support and tools that made FOLON possible.

Why he would do that lmao , big mods meaning old players will back to play it again. And mod is requires Fallout 4 and all dlcs. So people who don't own dlcs will buy it for dlc.

That's pretty stupid topic lol

[Starwight/ttv]

Did you know if you give someone a clown award on their profile they can't get rid of it?

Give OP what they earned.

[trey]

what if OP was right and Todd is at home right now with the lights out, sitting in a chair stroking a cat, laughing menacingly.

[Jaded One]

I think its funny how many are OK with useless update and saying that they fixing bugs and give us payed mods for free, any buddy who have played this game for a long times knows they only add new bugs do not fix old ones.
