Fallout 76, initially launched amid controversy in 2018, has since evolved into a successful online RPG, showcasing the resilience of the team behind it. Former project lead Jeff Gardiner reflected on the challenges of maintaining a live-service game, revealing personal experiences with public backlash. Despite the tough start, Gardiner emphasizes the pride he feels for the game's turnaround, particularly how it has become a significant achievement in his career. The game's continued growth is highlighted by recent updates like the Gleaming Depths expansion, keeping it fresh and engaging for players.
Working on a live-service game comes with a lot of stress, because it just doesn't go away.
When you put a game out that's that maligned, especially on a team that has had such success, the morale is doubly bad internally.
