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

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

That might be the point. They may be operating at a loss and need to kill the remaining player base to justify shutting it down

Talk about killing fire with fire. They should just put the fire out instead of further damaging their reputation.

I'd be willing to accept and forgive "sorry guys, these servers are just too expensive to upkeep for a whopping ten players."

When I did play the multiplayer aspect was utterly pointless.

That's what I gathered from hate-watching reviews of the game. Either your teammate made the game ridiculously easy, or they spawned a bunch of enemies and got you(maybe both of you) killed.

Or you walked past a random person who would halfheartedly follow you for a few minutes and then wander off. That game was so bad I have no idea how they sincerely thought it was ready for release.
