10 "Deluxe Editions" Of Video Games That Insulted Fans
2. Fallout 76's Disastrous Bag Blunder
Fallout 76 hasn't garnered much in the way of positive press for itself, having as rocky a launch period as it did and even now is pissing off fans with just how much unnecessary cosmetic things cost in the Atom store. However, problems started even before the game launched.
With the Power Armour edition of the game, players received, among other things, a replica T-51b Power Armour helmet that superfans could wear to feel just that little bit closer to their Reclamation Day Avatars waking up in the Wasteland. However, the promised Canvas West Tek canvas carrying bag was the main issue.
Gamers were promised the rather fetching duffel bag in the initial promo material for the edition ahead of Fallout 76's launch, but when the Power Armour Edition was delivered, customers found that their bag had been downgraded to a rather flimsy, inferior nylon one...without telling anyone who'd pre-ordered the special edition.
After plenty complaints and some rather inferior compensation of 500 Atoms (about £3.99), Bethesda have finally arranged for replacement canvas bags to be manufactured for people who bought the Power Armour Edition, as long as they submit a ticket by the 31st January 2019.
