Posted August 7, 2018 Quote Bethesda has officially confirmed that Fallout 76 will not be released on Steam, and will instead release as a store exclusive on the publisher's standalone Bethesda.net storefront. In the company's Fallout 76 B.E.T.A (Break-it Early Test Application), Bethesda plans to offer players access to the full game and allow their progress to be transferred to the entire game at launch. B.E.T.A access is guaranteed for all players who pre-order the game on the PlayStation Store, the Xbox One Store and on Bethesda.net. Beta Access will be granted to Xbox One players first, followed by other platforms. At this time, Bethesda has not revealed when the game's beta will launch. This makes Fallout 76's B.E.T.A feel more like Early Access than a traditional Beta, given its paid for nature and included content. it is also listed in the FAQ for the B.E.T.A. Quote A: The B.E.T.A. will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on PC (via Bethesda.net). Stay tuned for exact timing for each platform here and @Fallout on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please note that the B.E.T.A. for Xbox One will begin first, followed by other platforms. As for my opinion, it is annoying to now have to manage another client just to play a pc game. and i feel like Beth's reasoning is to further push paid mods, as the storefront is more accessible. https://fallout.bethesda.net/faq https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/fallout_76_won_t_be_released_on_steam_-_pc_version_will_be_exclusive_to_bethesda_net/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 7, 2018 I generally like Steam, but competition = good. Having all of your shit on a single platform where the owner can pull the plug on you any time they like for any reason they like isn't great.

Posted August 7, 2018 Separate launchers for everything does seem to be the trend for the last few years. And if that is the way it is going to be so long as I can prevent the launcher from automatically starting with my computer I think I am ok with it. Not optimal, but livable. I might just be back after the last few years because Spez is an idiot and I'm making a point to start staying away from Reddit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could be written is an interface that lists all your existing games, whereby you launch the one you wish to play, and the program opens the correct client, and then when you are done playing said game, closes said client. We could call it something like GMI "Game Management Interface" NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

How could they be so inconsiderate? /s Just having a launcher causes this effect, regardless of who it is through. I think the majority of the issue more lies in how many launcher programs do we really want running on our computers.

Posted August 7, 2018 I dream of the day for cross platform and cross content platform purchases so you can pay once and play it on console or PC and also have your choice of game library management platform instead of the constant "Hey we have one now too, oh you want it on the one you already use? Too bad ours only". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd prefer people realize that consoles are just stupified PC's that only exist still because of exclusivity, and people educate themselves to use actual computers. Seriously exclusivity is the only thing consoles have remaining. Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Posted August 7, 2018 Valve's 30% cut is standard for a retailer/ platform. Competition is good but fuck having like 8 launchers.

Posted August 7, 2018 2 hours ago, lazypc said: Separate launchers for everything does seem to be the trend for the last few years Well, every game used to be its own separate install back in the day, it's just trending back towards that (with the added addition of "launchers" so the publishers can advertise their other games now). I only accepted Steam because it was far more convenient at the time (still is, really), but I'm fine with multiple launchers so long as I can turn them off when not in use. If I have to jump through hoops to shut them down, that's when I'll care. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/449522-smoking-barrels-ltts-unnofficial-gun-club/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
