Fallout 76

You think $100 is bad, Gotta pay $180 that bs here in Australia.

$100 bucks for a private server like every other game is a pretty good deal depending on what you get.

Obviously they ****ed it up.

I helped out running a site which had private servers for shooters and they were like 20-40 bucks a month.

Still a rip off tho, Can buy another two games for $100.

You are being unreasonable. Each private server would most likely be a VM somewhere in a datacentre. It would have its own IP, hardware, storage and power. This is expensive.

If you do a quick check, a Minecraft server is around $15 bucks for 20 people. A shooter like BF4, it was around $60 a month for 32 people server hosted by a 3rd party site.

No doubt Bethesda ****ed it up and I believe it's bullshit that you cannot host a game yourself using a server you have (so build a server, download a client and then host) but $100 to host a server for a year is reasonable.

Each to their own there regarding the $180 price tag and finding it reasonable.
