Dropping the price of FO76 to $8 probably had something to do with that.
Its had steep discounts since launch.
A price drop alone wouldn't boost player counts without some additional interest at the same time.
Didn't they recently have a free weekend too?
Yes! I tried it again this weekend because of this. After all this time, you still cannot rebind the keys of the building mode, which is ridiculous and makes this game difficult to enjoy for me.
Its honestly not a good game and I've played all of them since fallout was released. Insisting on a world that requires other players to seem complete is an idiotic idea for a userbase that loves spending thousands of hours by themselves collecting trinkets.
I get the idea and a fair MMORPG would be dank but hard to pull off.
I have no interest in playing FO76, but for games where I really want to play but can’t rebind I use autohotkey. It’s trivial to write a rebind script to run before opening the game.
Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I play via proton so autohotkey is not an option. I tried autokey which is a linux alternative but weirdly, while the key swaps worked on the desktop, it didn't have an effect within the game for some reason. I'm sure there is some way it can be done but I couldn't be bothered spending the time fixing it for this game which I don't have much hope i'll even like.
Hey which proton version do you typically run? I see people recommending experimental over GE a lot these days and it’s got me wondering if it’s even worth it to find+download GE for my deck.
I just run proton 8 and switch to experimental or GE when troubleshooting a game that doesn't work, which is rare.
You can also get it free from prime gaming right now.
Meaning they will give you a free copy to keep, not just during a promo event.
You could also play for free on Steam for the past week
Yeah but prime gives you a free copy to keep.
Right, but also there was an increase from players on Steam who don't have Prime and were taking advantage of the free week.
