As with all things Fallout 76, the game's newly announced premium service Fallout 1st has arrived with its share of problems. For starters, the subscription costs $100 a year, which is bad enough, but you're not even paying for a fully working set of new features. As of right now, the Scrapbox - which allows players to store unlimited crafting items - is bugged. Several people have reported that it's deleting their scrap rather than keeping it safe. And that's not the only issue found thus far. As with the base game, Fallout 1st has fallen flat on its face.
Even better is this incredible story about one angry Fallout fan. Bethesda neglected to purchase a few key web domain names concerning Fallout 1st, and essentially, someone has swooped in and secured a couple of them. The result? Fallout1st.com and Fallout76First.com show a hilariously altered version of the publisher's breakdown of the subscription service.
"Ever since Fallout 76 launched, we have consistently done nothing to improve and evolve the experience based on your s****y feedback," Reads the webpage. We won't pull too many excerpts from this gigantic middle finger to Bethesda, as it's best enjoyed fresh. It completely rips apart the official copy found on the proper website, inserting all kinds of colourful language and commentary on the service. It's hard not to laugh.
In all likelihood, this will be removed from existence fairly soon, so we'd urge you to check it out while it's up. What are your thoughts on Fallout 1st? Do you agree with the rather outspoken owner of Falllout1st.com? Scrub your eyes clean in the comments below.

You've got to laugh.
I think it's already down? At least it doesn't open for me...
Anway, Bethesda can't do anything right and it's hilarious! Also, if you buy this 100 dollar pass or whatever you should be ashamed of yourself and your parents should disown you.
Is that a disgruntled fan though? Or a bandwagon jumping “disgruntled fan”? Or are we all disgruntled fans by default? I guess probably the last one
@get2sammyb I imagine Todd is laughing. While rocking back and forth saying It just works! It just wooorks!
... It certainly was a colourful read. Can't say I blame them either 😂
That. Is. Awesome. Sony....get a dev team to take Fallout and Elderscrolls thunder PLEASE. Buy Remedy. Take Besthesda down!!
''Imagine shoving that 12 fingered hand up your ass! It's okay, this membership will do it for you!''
Bethesda: "Hmm, I think we've been a bit too honest in our approach. We'd better blame it on an angry fan."
This is the most amazing thing I've read in weeks. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
Fallout 76, the game that just keeps on giving
Unless you bought it of course 😂😂😂
I'm just glad that Bethesda make games and not something more important. Imagine a world where they make aeroplanes; they'd fly backwards and you'd end up even further away from your holiday destination than you were before. The air hostess would clip through the floor leaving a worryingly vibrating trolley behind, then later you'd find the overhead lockers have deleted your luggage.
@Matroska you're thinking of Ryanair 😉
😂😂 That is pretty good!
Damn, even the embedded IGN video was brutal. I can't believe anyone went for this grift. Or can I? ...I can.
I think they need to start firing some people making top level decisions at Bethesda...
Todd is probably sitting in his office chair furious.
Or he's thinking about how they can implement Skyrim armor into the service and charge an extra $30 for it.
@AFCC It's still up.
Hilarious and so true.
@kyleforrester87 There are quite some bandwagons with disgrutled fans and i cant blame them for that.
It won't disappear... it's been archived.
@AFCC Nope. Still there.
