Don't forget to take a long, hard look in the mirror when discussing "Evil Game Publishers". I mean, after all, somebody is still buying Madden every year (COD, Halo, Gears, Fifa etc too). Someone keeps pre-ordering, someone keeps buying lootboxes and playing games that have pay walls. You can always just stop, you know. If you just stop buying their shit, you send a message. Also, as mentioned, informing yourself before purchasing is a vital skill for any potential gamer. Any one could tell from the previews and beta reviews that Fallout 76 wasn't going to be a winner. I'm a Bethesda fan and had a positive experience with Fallout 4, but that didn't stop me from letting Bethesda know how I feel by simply not buying the game or supporting it.
