3 Reasons Not to Sign Up for Fallout 4 DLC Beta & 2 Reasons To

You Have a Problem with the Rules | ||||||

The rules go beyond having to be 18 to participate. We recently outlined some of the fine print that comes with the Fallout 4 DLC beta. There, the company confirmed some of the do's and don'ts that you'll need to aware of if you plan on helping Bethesda ahead of the DLC release dates. You won't be able to share anything with anyone outside of the beta program. That includes "anyone associated with a competing videogame, any videogame publisher or developer, any news or information service (whether television, magazine, online, newspaper or otherwise), or review, report, Game footage, online blog, or in any online forum or chat room, other than the official Beta Forum or specifically designated private ZeniMax forum." If that sounds difficult, don't sign up. ZeniMax, Bethesda's parent company, also says that it "reserves the right to reset the Game, Your Game account (if any), Your characters, inventory items, achievements, and/or in-Game settings at any time during the Beta Trial." If you have a problem with that, don't sign up. The terms also state that "an access key can be used only once" and that you "agree that You will not provide any such Software (including any access key) to any other person or entity." If you are planning to try and sell your key or give it away to someone else, don't sign up. Failure to abide by these rules, and others, will likely result in the termination of your beta access. And if it violates the NDA, Bethesda could sue you. Not fun. | ||||||

It is just another fan-boy hyped-up piece of beth-propaganda….what happened to the three reason not to buy?
I can list them.
1. You will be playing a ps3 game on a next gen console without any fixes that to this day still plague, skyrim, fo3, ESO, and now fo4.
2. The season pass and all it variations are over-priced.
3. The claim that they want gamers imput is pure hype…they could care less.
4. The gaming industry is pretty much like the housing market…over-priced junk….as least in the housing market you can still have the builder fix warranty issues….games you can no longer return is the norm.

It’s actually not that hard to not talk about what’s in the beta. And or give anyone else what Bethesda gave you. You signed up for your use of the (BETA) not them.

I’ve done multitudes of closed betas and not one problem. And you know it’s plain and simple if you don’t want to help get the bugs/glitches out of the game it’s either you don’t like fallout so find something else to do or you like the game just stay out of the beta and buy the dlc when it comes out.

I’m open to the closed beta. I purchased the season pass and am excited on whats to come. Honestly, after playing Bethesda games. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas (Obsidian) Fallout 4. I’m used to some bugs here and there. Its sadly kind of expected.

I’m excited, signed up and awaiting acceptance to the beta. It’s pretty awesome to be able to test dlc before it’s release. So, if there are any complaints, which there will be for sure. I can make my own opinions on the dlc for myself. Automatron and Wasteland workshop downloaded. Waiting for Far Harbor and whatever else Bethesda releases.
