God, finally, someone who remembers that bloody scam and travesty of a release.
Highlighted the important part.
It's the same in Australia. You are entitled to a refund under certain criteria, regardless of the publishers TOS. Steam were recently taken to court over this.
Yup. If you're in America its "Fuck you, thanks for the money".
Its definitely possible that some people have had such terrible technical problems that they've been sold a non functioning product.
This game is fucking tragic. If this really bombs, I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw a Fallout 5.
Lol what absurd hyperbole. Bethesda hate is SO overblown on here lately.
Found someone who just watched some youtubers video about the game. It's definitely not well designed overall and has bugs endemic to bgs, sure, but this is extreme exaggeration.
People need to learn to punish game companies when they put out shit products. Don't pre-order wait for reviews etc so you can make an educated decision.
Yep. They're also keen to keep that 30% cut but I'm certain that they're making less by keeping it exclusive to Bethesda's launcher. Bypassing Steam's automated refund system is the #1 reason they kept it exclusive.
Didn't even wanted this game at first place. Wanted TES VI, but now I'm afraid over incompetence of the developer.
I'll give a go when is sub 10 USD. But I'm not expecting anything good.

Yes? Refunds with no questions aren't an official policy until the company says so. Why would Bethesda be any different?
I'm sorry if they did say something about this, I'll look for it now. Their official tos says they give no refunds, at least till yesterday.
There was a beta and much videos online, I think if you decided to buy the game after all that with no research (especially after what previous Bethesda games have been like and adding in the risky multiplayer part) then really you have to live with it.
I had to live with my decision buying Colonial Marines, so suck it up :D

If they've suffered as many issues trying to play with their friends as they claim, then the product hasn't worked for them as advertised.
Well, BioWare used to give away very substantial story DLC with preorders, but yeah, 9/10 times it's fucking pointless to preorder.
I only do it for preloading cause Internet is kinda shit. But I 99% only preorder after reviews
I think Bethesda should honour refunds.
But at the same time, I agree with the sentiment above. It was hardly a secret this was going to be a shitshow.
Next time don't pre order and don't buy games day one. I always wait a week for some previews. Never had any issues with any games I bought since
I got my refund from the Bethesda store. Not sure my playtime, maybe 10ish hours total. Purchased 11/14, requested refund and approved on 11/22, refund confirmation and money in my account today 11/24. Sucks to hear this doesn't seem to be the standard.
This shit is disgusting.
No other industry but this one is it the customer's fault that the manufacturer fucked up and its posts like these that are why they keep getting away with it.
Bethesda shouldn't put out broken games.
Customers shouldn't buy those broken games.
Both statements can be true. Bethesda has a long history of shovelling shit at customers, you'd think people would be more wary by now.
No its not disgusting, if you know that this is how the industry works right now, stop buying games day one. Sadly there is no other way. Buying it day one and crying how it sucks is fully your fault.
This is where I'm at, the language didn't guarantee a refund in any way.
I still think this situation is shitty, though, and that Bethesda morally should offer refunds. There's a strong case for the game not functioning as advertised.
I mean why wouldn't you just wait until it comes out and see what it's like at that point?
Maybe it is different guy from your first contact?
Because different person lead to different outcome. I experience this myself while I contact same problem twice and favourable result is on the second one.
I honestly dont know that is it worth it to trade off community good will building up over past year for just to release fo76 which not only it's bad but not many ask for it for the first place except money. (Which again i dont know if it is worth it because it seems to not doing that well enough to justify this shitstorm)

On one hand it sucks to see people pay for No Mans sky and fallout 76 and end up so disappointed.
But on the other hand everyone saw it coming and those people still pre ordered. Like who thought no mans sky would actually deliver on all that they promised? And who expected a fallout game with no npcs to be fun?
Some of us only bought it because friends dragged us into it. When said friends finally realize it's actually a pile of shit, you then try to return it.
customers who have ever sang the lyrics Country Roads Take Me Home are no longer eligible for a refund
