You make a valid point, I just personally disagree that this was good timing on their part (and for the record I'm not downvoting you or anything). A better time would have been before the show dropped - granted, they likely didn't anticipate its overwhelming positive reception.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I bought FO4 after watching the show and immediately installed the highest-rated mod pack on Nexus, assuming with a game this old it'd work great. I've been playing their games since Daggerfall and believe that modern Bethesda games are best played modded - at the very least with the unofficial patches that fix issues with the base game. I only found out a few days after starting my run that there was an incoming patch that'd ruin my fun.

Anyway - it's not the end of the world. I'm used to patches breaking mods and having to replace them or wait months for them all to get updated. Just having some fun slagging on a publisher that, in my opinion, timed this badly. I don't regret the 10 bucks I spent on the game, as I'll eventually get back to it.
