Instead of being $60 out of pocket, he’s now nearly $2000 out.Okay, you might ask, but all the games I just named have gamepad support - what about the decades of mouse-and-keyboard fare? The Steam Deck lets you borrow or build a dizzying array of custom control schemes that make them feel at home, too.
The affected quite obviously had the money to buy Fallout 4, but opted instead to steal a copy from the internet. While there’s no way of really knowing whether or not a dodgy copy of Fallout 4 is to blame, it certainly seems that way. It’s the most beautiful sort of instant karma. Quick sleuthing found that his pirated copy of Fallout 4, probably hiding a keylogger within it, was the likely culprit.Īnd, because of how Bitcoin works, that money is irrecoverable if you manage your own Bitcoin wallet, you’re out of luck if it ends up being compromised. Some clever chap put it all together, noting the date on which the BTC went missing – and it coincided nicely with Fallout 4’s release date. He lost 4.88 Bitcoin on November 11 the equivalent, today of 1905.54 US Dollars – so went about asking on a Bitcoin reddit (Via ) to find out how. It’s worth mentioning here that it wasn’t the game itself that stole his digital cash – but rather the Trojan horse that was hidden inside of his pirated copy of the game. Notably, his copy of Fallout 4’s stolen a bunch of his money money that he’d tied up in Bitcoin. Those are my problems with Fallout 4 – but they pale in comparison to the problems one poor sap’s had. There’s no real class variation, and with unlimited levels and perks, there’s no real thought or consideration necessary when choosing which ones to go with. That’s not even my biggest problem with the game – instead, it’s the terrible conversation trees, the lack of real role playing and the focus on all-out action that’s got me down. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great game, and it’s one of my very favourite games from this year – but there are bugs and glitches of course it is a Bethesda game after all.
