10 Video Games That Made You Pay For Essential Features
8. Storage Boxes - Fallout 76 (2018)
Despite undergoing a handful of game-changing updates which added heaps of exciting content, Fallout 76 nevertheless remains notorious for its catastrophic launch. From pre-order blunders, a handful of game-breaking bugs, and a massive data leak, the beginning of this game’s life was a complete disaster.
Even when Bethesda had corrected some of the biggest concerns surrounding their game (namely a lack of NPCs in the world), fans were still displeased with a sizeable list of grievances which spoiled their time in post-apocalyptic West Virginia.
One such gripe was the stingy limit placed on how much scrap players could store. Although the quantity has since been increased to 1200lbs since launch, the cap remains a thorn in the community’s side.
However, there was a way to increase storage space, and that was to pay for the Fallout 1st subscription service, which will set players back £11.99 a month (or £99 per year).
Alongside unlocking private servers and unique cosmetic items, this subscription fee would likewise grant players unlimited space for all their base-building materials.
Being such a heavily requested feature, it’s understandable why the community voiced their outrage at Bethesda for charging them for a quality of life feature they’d asked for since launch.
