Bethesda hopes you’ll pay $100 a year for private ‘Fallout 76’ worlds

Bethesda is betting that Fallout 76 fans are willing to pay extra for creature comforts — so much so that they’ll pay more than they did for the base game. The developer has launched a Fallout 1st subscription that offers a few exclusive conveniences and other perks for $100 per year, or $13 per month. Most notably, 1st members can create private worlds for them and up to seven other people. You don’t have to worry that a troublemaker will come in and ruin your experience, in other words. Friends can join these worlds without a subscription, so you don’t have to persuade your pals to sign up just to get some relative peace and quiet.
