To Whom it May Concern,

You need to stop. Take a step back. And look at what you are doing. This product you have railroaded through the development process, pushed to make holiday sales deadlines is tarnishing the reputation of your business in a way that you may not ever recover from. The internet is forever and hell hath no fury like a loyal fan spurned.

Number one. Communication is essential and in a situation like you have on your hands with Fo76… 100% transparency is an absolute must with any changes you are going to make. Leave nothing out of the patch notes, because we are watching and will call you out on it.

Number two. Fix the most broken stuff first. The exp exploits, the carry weight exploits, the damage bugs that prevent us from using nearly an entire weapon class. Fight your biggest fires first, we will happily tell you exactly where they are. You just need to listen, comprehend, and then deliver.

Number three. Forget about PvP for a couple of months. Fallout has been, and is perceived by, your playerbase as a largely PvE experience. Focus on making the game a better co-op PvE game first and then worry about the PvP game after you have the core of what keeps us loyal to your franchise.

Number four. Integrity. Get some. Do what you say you are going to do, when you say you are going to do it, and how you say you are going to do it. Remember the Five “P’s”. Prior planning prevents poor performance.

We, your loyal fans, want to help you. But as long as you think you know better, keep burning us with obvious hot garbage from your sales and marketing prima donnas, we will vote with our money and take our business and loyalty with us. Fire the jerks that came up with the nylon bag debacle, and be public about it.

The worst thing you can possibly do after having made a mistake is to pretend that it never happened. Own it. Apologize. And most importantly learn from it and don’t repeat it.

It is time to get a grip.

Sincerely,

Your Fans.

(What’s left of us anyway.)
