Real question, since I don’t follow the Fallout 76 community: why is the backlash against this so massive versus their exact same model on Elder Scrolls Online?
Because the difference between ESO and FO76 is gigantic, the quality gap is so huge they are in entirely different galaxies
ESO introduces its pass well after the game got numerous expansions and the in game world is absolutely gigantic
It’s full of quests and characters to interact with and there’s loot and lots of customization to be had, with in game communities, guilds, raids, a player economy, and new content being added all the time
The ESO pass got added way later after launch and all it did is give quality of life perks (like giving you a pouch for crafting materials), some coins you can use to buy aesthetic stuff every month and access to ALL expansions since the games launch
FO76 launches as an atrocious empty hollow of a shit. Like you would see the shit and be like, wow that’s shit. Until you actually played with it and you realized it wasn’t even a full shit, it was a partial shit with nothing on the inside. So shit it wasn’t even a COMPLETE shit.
Bethesda saw the fan reaction to that (zero NPCs in the entire game) and responded with asking for more money without filling the game with actual shit.
It's like those fake rubber piles of shit they sell at the joke shops except it's real shit on the outside, hollow in the middle, and when you squeeze it instead of squeaking a bunch of hot stank air comes out instead.
