Says a lot they haven't put out a "we hear you", but they are past that, someone should step up and show some leadership

Fully expecting this game to have a connection to the Trump investigation at this point tbh

I can't believe that Todd Howard is scheduled to come to the Game Awards. Why would he show his face in public? I think the only way to turn any of this around is refunds for everyone who ever bought the game.

before this I would have said ride it out, but NOW you are 100% right, just eat it and give everyone their money back. its that or be sued in to the ground for leaking a ton of personal information.

I don't know why he'd risk being at a live event while Bethesda is going through multiple PR crises at the same time.

Did Bethesda try porting Skyrim to a fucking monkey's paw and this is the ensuing fallout to that (hue) or something

At this point Bethesda is going to outright implode by the year's end, they're going to give tumblr a run for their money

How does a company continue to fuck up this bad it almost seems like self-sabotage

This has been quite the tale so far. The latest misstep does smell like a lawsuit, though at this point it's just the cherry on top.

No worries people, Bethesda is currently downloading the patch to fix this bug.

It's 50GB too.

Please stand by.

By the way, I still love Bethesda and Fallout.

Ok. I think now we really need to stop taking it lightly and seriously consider the possibility of this pic being real real. Nothing works. Just absolutely nothing.

who would have thought that a situation that started with replacing bags in an LE with cheaper bags then manufacturing the original specifications would have resulted in this much

excess baggage

You know what we shoul really focus on right now? The fact that it isn't their backend website engine thats the problem. People are WRONG, thats not how website engines work.

I hope he gets booed of the stage. I hate to put the blame on this on him or Hines but maybe if the upper management sees what they wrought then maybe they'll have a rethink about where they are going.

When game engine jank bleeds into real life.....jesus.

I've had more fun following the trainwreck that is this game than I have playing a number of actual games this year. In fact it's probably top 5 in entertainment value. Does this mean I should throw it in my GOTY ballot?

What is fascninating about this entire situation is that it is multiple breaks across all fronts. PR blunders, janky game, and now this. Every box that can be checked off on what to screw up has been checked at this point.

You're all mocking Bethesda but when you realize the employees are all trying to one up each other and the winner of the competition becomes the new Todd, you're going to stop laughing.

They need a new king and only a true master can pretend to the throne.

  1. In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having ´become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

So theoretically. Anyone that got the leaks but not the collector's edition, could use the leaked info to get themselves a new canvas bag?

I think this is some next level though.

Bear in mind this fuck up is a result of them trying to right a wrong with the canvas bag, I'm actually curious whether it is cheaper to be sued for false advertisement than data breach.
