Bethesda has been widely lambasted for its latest game, open-world MMO Fallout 76 — both for releasing the game when it was nigh-unplayable, and for allegedly refusing to issue some gamers refunds. This tidal wave of censure begs the question: would the company still be having this problem if it’d released its game on Steam rather than its own platform?

If you’re even passingly familiar with gaming media and news, you’ve probably heard some scuttlebutt about just how bad Fallout 76 turned out to be. The past week in particular has been nothing but a litany of increasingly irritated complaints from gamers. Remember when Bethesda issued that letter warning gamers ahead of time the game was going to be super buggy? Their breezy “we anticipate turbulence on this flight” attitude seems wildly optimistic in retrospect.
