Bethesda backtracks on promised Fallout 76 refund

Whatever you think of Fallout 76, it’s fair to say that it hasn’t had the easiest launch window. From a set of review scores nearly unheard of for a major studio’s franchise release to a series of price drops just days after release, I don’t imagine Bethesda are going to look back on their time in West Virginia particularly favourably. It probably comes as little surprise that several players have been trying to get their purchases refunded. One of those attempts looked to have been successful, until Bethesda apparently changed its mind. Reddit user ZPKane says they were promised their money back, but Bethesda later claimed that they were “no longer eligible” for a refund. In a post on Reddit, ZPKane says they asked for a refund on PC, on the grounds of ongoing performance and connection issues. According to that post, Bethesda replied to the request saying that while “we do not have the ability to begin processing that refund for you right at this moment,” “we’ll begin processing the refund as soon as we can.” So far, so good.
