Yes, lets have two separate threads for every new games that gets released.

Have one for industry wide issues, which I assume is what makes up most of this thread. And one for Fallout 76.

But not *exclusively*. And your response - that "it's getting enough traction for your liking" - in a Fallout 76 game thread... well, at best it suggests that you're not actually interested in the bigger picture...

Not since the last update! But that patch supposedly included a fix for problems re-positioning your camp. Before, it was often pretty tough to move it as the variance in ground condition (trees and rocks, etc) stopped you from re-building. Apparently there is a "ground-smoothing" tool available now and I hope that helps the situation!

The argument being against that, though, is that any suggestion of said industry issue being raised against Bethesda and Fallout 76 will not be allowed here in this thread. Don't agree with that, at all.

If talk is flowing here, let it - what difference does it make, Jawa? Is it that you feel negative opinions are pushing you out of the thread?

Taf, I stand by this. If you were so passionate about the industry-wide issues, you'd make a thread about it.
We don't need two threads for every game. But - in my opinion - we would be better off having one thread for Fallout 76 and another thread about how the industry makes and publishes games. The issue is bigger than a single game; it's a hot topic for AAA game publishing as a whole. Sure, Fallout 76 is the current (two months, now) poster-boy for these issues - just as Star Wars Battlefront II was at one point, and perhaps as CoD Black Ops IIII should be now - but the issues are wider than this.
This approach isn't me attempting to "police" the thread; I'm not a mod. But it feels like it'd be the right thing to do.

That looks awesome, Orange - you can make pro buildings!
Nice of that player to drop the gear for you, too. I'm guessing that your character must be quite high-level now?
