10 Times Video Games Ripped You Off

It was a brain teaser just figuring out what part of the slow burning train wreck that is Fallout 76 to focus on for this entry. I was tempted to just rail against the whole thing as a giant kick in the nuts to fans, but then I remembered the time Bethseda unquestionably ripped off its audience.

Collector's editions - and the products they include - rarely look as good as advertised, that's just how the sausage gets made. But with most of them, the product you get is at least made of the materials they advertise them being made out of. Bethesda, on the other hand, advertised that - in the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76 - players would get a beautiful canvas bag to carry all the other stuff around in.

Instead, when those who paid for their editions got their hands on it, every single one of them found the bag to be made out of nylon rather than canvas. Ugly, crinkled nylon to boot.

Fallout 76 is one of those games that walks the line between being just a broken, bug riddled mess, and being an active ripoff of the player's money, but there is no question as to what side of that line this little mess sits on.
