Ah ! I almost forgot about that one !! How this game got a 7/10 on release still amaze me how great the reviews are , here.
What was your review score at launch?
Mine would have been around 5 or 6 out of 10.
You did play, yes?
Like a lot of people, yeah. Mine would have been a low 4.
OK, then you knew what you were buying yes? I sure did, early reviews in October beta painted a very clear picture, so much so I considered cancelling my preorder with Amazon, but in the end let it ride.
Turned out pretty much as I expected, the early reviews were not wrong but anyone who went forward after Nov launch knew well what they were getting into.
So I have to ask, what's wrong with you that you buy games you know in advance are poorly made or won't be to your liking?
I went forward but hey I'm blessed I guess because I've never had as many issues as others claim to and I don't bother with anger over troubles others had like nylon bags or plastic helmets. (Lulz)

Most game companies should limit their sales to Australia then if they're going to be stiff-armed like that. That, or count Australian sales at a loss then be happy a year later when a few don't cry to mommy state.
In Australia we have a general expectation that products we purchase will be fit for purpose. If they aren’t, we’re well aware of our right to a refund. This is a result of strong and well advertised consumer rights law.
A typical Australian will expect to be able to refund a product that doesn’t do what it’s supposed to, whether it’s a table, a game, or a car. This is not unique to poor or young Australians.
It is illegal for Bethesda to offer their product for sale in Australia if they are unwilling to provide refunds. Trying to demonise the consumers who expect big corporations to operate within the law, instead of the corporations explicitly attempting to scam consumers is simply ridiculous.
And how many hours roughly did you get out of the game? And how often have you done this dishonorable practice?
You know what? It's freaking like $30. I don't care...yuck.
LOL at these young'uns still trashing this game because it wasn't what they thought it should be. OMG an apocalyptic world doesn't have a ton of people living on it wtf?? Wheres the NPCs!?!?!?! They're dead son. they're dead. OMG a minor mix up happened! Let's put it on the google front page! This is a shining example of making a big deal over nothing.
FO76 was a pretty fun game. It's certainly not the worst game I have played int he last year. This kind of BS is gonna make the entire gaming world more barren and lifeless by the refund. Who's gonna put out games for all these folks who cry, whine, and cost them money over nothing? Less and less with each entitled millennial tear I'm sure

Asking for a refund within a reasonable time after purchase for a product which clearly does not meet what was advertised is in no way dishonorable.
Zenimax / Bethesda is the offending party here as they knowingly delivered a defective product yet routinely deny buyers refunds when they in good consciences have no right to even if they are following the letter of the law which in this case they didn't.

in b4 game companies stop selling games in Australia. Its a tiny portion of the gamer market and if its so easy to saw there is a major flaw with a game and just get your money back, most games now days will be threatened by this legal ability and mindset.
