Bethesda is in the business of making money. There's no way they would gift this guy a copy of FO4 with useless bottle caps.

Yes but Bethesda unlike other company cares about its fan base and really one standard copy of the game is not going to hurt them at all financially.

-
Because $60 is a huge loss for Bethesda for a good story.

This is one guy out of millions. He is a devoted fan. Giving him the PBE create even more great publicity for Fallout 4. What is there to lose? How many people have THAT MANY bottle caps saved up?
-
1 copy of the standard game would cost 59.99$ not including tax. I don't think that will hurt them at all. Just saying
-
Lol um. Marketing? PR?

They might. Story goes viral, they sell more games.
-
11.4 pounds of pot metal is about what, maybe 10 bucks on a good day? That's 1/6th the cost of the game, maybe more since they're bottle caps, I'm sure they could do something more, plus it's publicity, cant put a price on that.
-
I dunno man, if you sell just 3 more copies from that story and the publicity it buys, you are making money, that and it furthers how much your company respects its customers
-
It would be awesome advertising publicity. worth way more than just the cost of a game.
-
They gave someone free Bethesda games for life because they named their kid Dovahkiin.
-
Really? Also, I'm not sure I would like to be that kid. Naming your kid Dovakihn is a tad creepy, at least in IMO
-
Edited by warcawk0351: 6/21/2015 1:06:04 AMI wonder if they will stop once that kid grows up and commits suicide because his parents are complete idiots and put video games before their children
-
Well that was dumb of him, i've seen dumber things but this takes the cake.
-
Dumber was someone naming their child Crota
-
Well to be fair, that guy is gonna have to spend a lot more money than the cost of games to fix his kids ruined life.
-
it was only for 8 days. they already changed it after that.
-
they probably will actually, because of its creativity.
