The game isn′t even released and the net seems to be flooded with vitriol for the game and the company. I don′t usually buy games at the release date (TES, Fallout and Civilization being the exception) nor did i ever wait for a game as much as for this one. Leaked infos/vids everywhere, showing the game in an ugly light. Game forums full of people who attack Bethesda- for a game not yet released, and every other rpg they ever made . But what i saw at Steam was just over the top. Literally dozens of threads by mostly the same few trolls with hardcoe game spoilers in the title and no mod in sight- except to lock threads by people requesting, or complaining about the lack of -mod action. It happend to two threads of mine as well, btw. I am constantly wondering, who are these people? Apart from those who maybe were disappointed/didnt like the previous gamesas games and have a never ending urge to correct those who were not/did like them, there are obviously some others at work too. I have a few ideas, feel free to dismiss them and post your own:
1. It′s a brilliant marketing stategy by Bethesda; lower the expectations to surprise people positively once they play the game.
2. The game svcks and anonymous hackers want to warn innocent customers.
3. Russian/chinese hackers hate Fallout, Bethesda or both.
