Verified Reviewer |This grandmother is passed. What did you do to fo [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA]? Does anyone in the creative process have any military experience?
It would be nice if you had at least one weapon that would kill something with one shot. I should sue you for carpal tunnel.
Repeated pulls of the trigger button do great damage to the wrist.
Have your developers grow up and stop being so juvenile. Create something great, not mediocre.
- Always 5 or way more trigger pulls to kill anything
Preferred solution: Get developers who know how to be fair in the Game play development
User's recommendation: Get a nintendo.

Verified ReviewerAccidentally signed up for a monthly subscription I didn't want
- - Fallout 76 was free on PlayStation; I bought a 1-month auto-renewing subscription, and PSN says refunds aren’t issued for third-party subscriptions.
I downloaded Fallout 76 free off of PlayStation Network. I hadn't played this version as of yet, so I wanted to try it out because it was free.
Upon the initial day of playing it, I realized there were a lot of things locked unless you had the monthly pass. So I purchased the one-month subscription, thinking it wasn't recurring, but it was. When I noticed it was recurring and I had no intentions of continuously playing the game, I contacted PlayStation Network customer support, who were unhelpful, and then I contacted Bethesda.
After waiting for a week for a response, I was essentially told that I had to deal with PlayStation Network, who stated they do not refund subscriptions through third parties. So essentially, both PlayStation and Bethesda stole my money.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don't purchase any subscriptions through PlayStation Network

Verified ReviewerCharge for subscription that should have been canceled
- - Took about a week to get Bethesda's reply.
- - Support said they can't access payments or issue refunds/credits and blamed Sony.
So after about a week long wait I finally got a response back from Bethesda games. The individual I spoke to from customer service essentially told me that they don't have access to any payments that they receive they don't have a way of giving refunds or credits and that everything is solely on the shoulders of Sony even though Sony is the one that informed me to call Bethesda because Sony's policy is that they can't give refunds on subscriptions
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Read all fine print if you're a Sony PlayStation Network subscriber especially when it comes to subscription services within PSN
Never responded and their website isn’t helping at all
I just got to *** with *** in ***, and the gate opened, but it is not letting me open the door, and I have tried everything.

Verified ReviewerCan’t talk to a person on the phone or respond to emails sent to you. Very frustrated!
- - Skyrim is glitching.
- - Troubleshooting with Nintendo escalated; ticket 250724-****49.
- - Requesting replacement with a physical card; paid $90.
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is glitching. I have done all troubleshooting with Nintendo, and they sent me to you.
The last ticket number I have is 250724-****49. I have tried to respond to the email sent to me, and I get that I am sending from an unknown email. In the email, it said it was being escalated, but I can't respond.
I need it replaced with a physical card. I feel like I wasted $90.
User's recommendation: Don’t buy downloadable games from anyone that Bethesda makes. You can’t get any problems fixed

Verified ReviewerHorrible company
- - Video from your new game shows you not liking fascists and may be employee-made.
- - Video was taken down, but copies exist and may be shared online.
I seen that video clip of your new game not liking fascists that you had up just perfect timing, probably something your employees just made because they don't like conservatives and Christians and now you take it down to bad most of us have copies of it so you didn't delete it, so we can put it on the internet for everyone to see what you said, I won't buy your games anymore if I had the opportunity to get my money back for those games I do have I sure as heck would instead of owning them anymore
- Everything at this point
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Stay away

User's recommendation: Hope they answer when you call

Verified ReviewerHi Bethesda!
- - They accuse Charlie Kirk of fascism and imply he deserved to die.
- - They will boycott Bethesda and urge others to do the same.
I heard you think Charlie Kirk was a fascist and deserved to die, or at least seems to have implied as much with that X post, and the fact that employees who celebrated it don't seem to have faced any repercussions. Well, I hope it works out well for you, because I will no longer be buying any Bethesda products, and I will be urging people to do the same. You evidently wouldn't want my 'fascist' money, and I can't in good conscience support a company that is seemingly in support of political violence and left-wing extremism.
- Were alright years ago
- And seem to have a gaggle of bloodthirsty lunatics working for them
- Suck now
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Avoid their products. Not that they have made anything good these last 10 years, so it shouldn't be hard.

Verified ReviewerNobody from the company will reach out to me to help me resolve my issue
- - Support contact could be easier.
- - A 6-year-old accidentally made a $110 purchase; the user asks for help due to financial strain.
They could actually make it easier to contact support. My 6 year old child accidentally made a purchase of $110 .
He didn't know what he was doing and I understand that it's my fault, but now I need to speak with someone and it's impossible.
I'm hoping someone has a heart and will help me fix this. I'm barely scraping by as it is
- Never played
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Tbd
