They could’ve just not, and saved everyone six years.

“We’re saying goodbye to the Bethesda.net Launcher this year,” Bethesda said intoday’s announcement.

Any virtual currencies you have (likeFallout 76’s Atoms) in your Bethesda.net Wallet will transfer too.

Friend lists will also transfer to Steam.

Fallout 76 was notably exclusive to Bethesda’s client for its first 16 months before spreading to Steam.

I don’t know what good any of this did.

I’m glad to see one of the many bad game launchers die.

As much as I think Steam needs strong competition, the Bethesda.net Launcher was not it.

Only Bethesda stood to gain from this software, not users and not other developers.

Bethesda launching their own client was a selfish gamble which only inconvenienced people.
