Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition has encountered significant backlash from fans following its launch, with many expressing disappointment over pricing and performance issues. The $59.99 edition celebrates the game's tenth anniversary but includes the original game, expansions, and a large number of paid mods. Critics argue that the pricing is excessive, especially when compared to the base game's current $19.99 price. Additionally, updated mods are reportedly causing glitches and crashes for players, leading to a 'mostly negative' rating on Steam. Many users have taken to social media to voice their frustrations, leading to a wave of negative reviews not just for the Anniversary Edition, but for the base game as well. The discontent comes at a time when Bethesda is looking to capitalize on the upcoming Fallout media expansion, including a new Fallout TV series and related game content.
