‘Fallout 76’ Release Date, News & Update: Bethesda Gets Defensive About PC Hacks, Complains About Inaccurate Claims

“Fallout 76” just finished its beta phase and a lot of things about the game have become clear to players and publications. Among these are the myriad issues related to the title that happen to include claims of cheating. In response to some of these claims, Bethesda issued a statement that essentially tries to deflect some of the accusations being leveled at the company.

In a statement to Eurogamer, Bethesda pushed back against some of the claims made by posters over at a Reddit thread. The company said that some of the items listed there were not exactly accurate. Then again, it did also acknowledge that “Fallout 76” still has a long way to go before it can be called a stable game.

"Many of the claims in the thread are either inaccurate or based on incorrect assumptions. The community has however called to attention several issues that our teams are already actively tracking and planning to roll out fixes for," the statement reads.

"Our goal is always to deliver a great experience for all our players. Cheating or hacking will not be tolerated. We know our fan base is passionate about modding and customizing their experience in our worlds and it's something we intend to support down the road."

It would appear that the biggest issue with this particular “Fallout 76” development is the matter of the vulnerabilities in the PC version of the game. Players have essentially declared that it is far too easily hacked and has allowed cheaters to get away with a lot of things. Naturally, Bethesda would rather avoid its upcoming game of being branded as a haven for hackers.

“Fallout 76” is Bethesda’s biggest gamble and ahead of its Nov. 14 release date, it’s only to be expected that the company would want only good coverage for the title. It’s simply unfortunate that the beta is being lambasted by practically everyone who tried it.
