Bethesda letting fan pay for ‘Fallout 4’ with bottle caps. 2,200 bottle caps.
Good Guy Bethesda letting a fan buy Fallout 4 with bottle caps. Good Guy Bethesda generating some positive buzz for themselves. Not like they need it. Everyone is slushy-groined over Fallout 4 (or GTFO). But why not capitalize on the good will and keep it going? However, may I suggest an additional means of generating good will? Let me pre-order the fucking Pip-Boy edition of the game for PS4! Fuck! Shit! Ass!
Well I’ll be. The scheme to get Fallout 4 using only bottlecaps actually worked!
For those of you that haven’t been following this: last week, a Redditor shared pictures of a shipment that was being sent to Bethesda by a friend. It included a letter, and a package containing about 2,240 bottlecaps. Real ones. From beers and drinks and such. The intention was, of course, to see if they could pre-order Fallout 4 using Fallout’s trademark currency. The fan said that it took them years to amass that many caps. It was a fun stunt that had no guarantee of working…but it looks like the effort was not in vain.
Today, GatorMacheteJr posted an update on imgur: Bethesda not only received the caps, they are going to honor the deal. Amazing.
“[Bethesda] told me since I was the first person to do this, I would be receiving a copy of the game this November, and that [they] would be running my caps over to deposit them at thePeople’s Bank of Point Lookout,
