When the official details of Fallout 76 and it was known that it would be a multiplayer game that depended on the constant connection, the uncertainty was present in some fans. After that, a debate has opened between players to define what the game represents for the present and future of the franchise, as well as Bethesda, fearing that these move towards the game models as a service. Recently, Todd Howard responded to those doubts.

In an interview for Games Industry , Todd Howard, executive producer of Bethesda, spoke about the doubts that exist regarding the meaning of Fallout 76 in its quality of game as a service and if this will be the direction that the company and its creatives will take in the near future. Initially, the creative said: "It does not define our future, we have already made some combinations but people forget them. The Elder Scrolls Online is one of the most important online games in the world, we have Fallout Shelter , which we continue to support, and The Elder Scrolls: Legends . Anyone who says that this is the future and that other videogame experiences are dead, has been refuted every time. We want to try everything. For a long time we wanted to try a multiplayer title and we had this idea. We should not be afraid, we had to try. "

On the other hand, Howard referred to game style Fallout 76 and asked hardcore fans of the franchise to give him a chance, because the essential elements of the role play are there, but with a light touch and a monetization system: "definitely has a lighter touch, something that surprisingly worked for us with Fallout Shelter . I was forced to meet with monetization experts during Fallout Shelter and I said 'that's fine'. Afterwards, the game came out and in its first week it was above Candy Crush . That made us learn a lot. "
