Bethesda Bans ‘Fallout 76’ Players for Life Following Homophobic Attack
Fallout 76 has already earned its share of controversy for Bethesda. When first announced earlier in the year, players were skeptical about an online title based on the popular Fallout franchise.
After its release, though, players discovered that the game was worse than they expected. There were a series of game-breaking bugs, as well as entire portions of the game that were completely unplayable.
The game also came with a strict no refunds policy that continues to anger gamers. There was so much backlash that there is the potential of a class action lawsuit against the developer.

Bethesda (https://variety.com/t/bethesda/) recently banned a group of “Fallout 76 (https://variety.com/t/fallout-76/)” players for life after they allegedly engaged in an in-game homophobic attack on other players, according to Eurogamer (https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-11-30-bethesda-bans-fallout-76-player-for-life-following-shocking-homophobic-attack).
One of the victims, named AJ, posted video of the incident to Twitter on Nov. 15. It shows the players shooting at him while yelling homophobic comments over the game’s proximity voice chat.
“We’ve come to eliminate all gays,” they say. “Eliminate the queers. We’ve got to decontaminate the AIDS.”

So @bethesda (https://twitter.com/bethesda), how do we report people in @Fallout (https://twitter.com/Fallout)? @ChipWhitehouse (https://twitter.com/ChipWhitehouse) @Handsandhead (https://twitter.com/Handsandhead) and I literally had our characters hunted down and killed by homophobic players. I'll post more of the video in a thread. Strong language warning.
“Fallout 76 (https://variety.com/2018/gaming/features/fallout-76-review-1203034780/)’s” anti-griefing mechanic prevented their bullets from dealing significant damage to the lower-level avatars, however, and AJ told Eurogamer he hoped they would just get bored and leave.
“They stuck with it and even joked about how ‘this is the strongest queer I’ve ever seen,'” he said.
Eventually, they managed to kill the players’ characters and they respawned on another server.
