The latest chapter in the Great Fallout
76 Canvas Bag Fiasco Of 2018 has unfolded. Those who received a nylon bag
instead of the promised canvas bag in the $200 Power Armor Edition will indeed
receive a canvas bag, the publisher confirmed in a statement.
"We are finalizing manufacturing plans
for replacement canvas bags for the Fallout 76: Power Armor Edition," the
publisher said.
Those who bought the special edition can submit
a ticket here to request a canvas bag. Bethesda did not say when the bags
will be ready, but you need to submit a ticket by January 31.
The controversy began when purchasers of the
Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition noticed the bag delivered was nylon instead of
canvas as advertised. One fan reached out to Bethesda support, and received a
succinct reply that the company was "not planning on doing anything about
it." The company subsequently apologized for that response, and
blaming the change on "unavailability of materials."
Bethesda initially announced it would
compensate purchasers with 500 Atoms for Fallout 76, but players quickly
roasted Bethesda for this, as it only amounts to $5 worth of compensation.
It is good to see Bethesda do right by players
over the collector's edition issue, but Bethesda isn't exactly out of the woods
yet as it relates to public perception. The game had a rocky launch, and
reviewers generally did not like the game. What's more, a law firm is
investigating Bethesda over its Fallout 76 refund policy. Bethesda has
acknowledged some "frustrating issues" surrounding the game and has
committed to supporting it long-term. It has already laid out a roadmap of
upcoming changes.
