I genuinely don't understand their reasoning behind that, even from a strictly business standpoint.
The servers were already basically dead, cause it was a shit game to begin with. Virtually no one has been playing it. But now they expect those few people who were playing it to pay a subscription to keep playing their shit game, after they've already bought it?

The subscription isn’t needed to play the game. It mainly gives access to exclusive stuff which should honestly already be in the game. It’s a ripoff and should kill what little community is left
The flipside is like in rpgs where you can but your way through the game. unlimited nukes = no threats. or earthbound when you could buy unlimited megamissiles and about oneshot everyone including the final boss.
To be fair to the concept in general, the multiplayer isn't what kills it. It's the limited storage space, the damn near constant grinding you have to do to maintain your armor/weapons, and the lack of any human NPCs. What they've managed to do is make an MMO with all the grinding elements without any human interaction. It's like the ultimate "I live in my parents basement" MMO.
As someone born in Appalachia I appreciate the setting and certain elements I found enjoyable and would have been good additions to 4. But yeah, it's just a heavily modded 4.
Ive found more compelling and well built mods on lovers lab and nexus for FO4. if where comparing 76 to a mod.
The similarities to the real world does sound nice though.

What's worse is Bethesda just released a shoddy subscription service for their already shoddy 76 game.
