In case no one else noticed, apparently ZeniMax lost the bait-and-switch refund suit in Australia, too.

Normally I agree with this sentiment, but the Escapist has shrunk to such a small community that I think it?d be very clear if any of us were actually doing this.

This isn't my point. It's an irrelevance whether anyone here has taken part. Criticism of the behaviour stands.

Fair. I mainly took issue with the usage of ?you? as it came off as hostile to the community.

Fallout 76 is the gift that never stops giving. OK, remember how non-subbed players were griefing 1st subscribers?

Apparently subcribing players are now banding together in a clan called the 'Apocalyptic Aristocracy' [https://www.polygon.com/2019/11/6/20950122/fallout-76-apocalyptic-aristocracy-peasants-class-war-bethesda-subscription-1st], going around in the fanciest clothes and armor to remind the 'peasants' about how much better they are for paying more for Fallout 76.

Seems like its mostly intented as a joke, but still, so stupid.

I actually like that idea, in that I can see it existing in-universe.

Like, post-apocalypse, some fuckwits secure high-tech, and go around terrorizing the nuclear wasteland. I mean, heck, "Apocalyptic Aristocracy" almost sounds like a faction that could exist in-universe.

I mean, TenPenny Tower was a thing and NV had the gang of Elvis Impersonators(which was honestly pretty amusing).
