Yeah, that's sad. They keep messing up with Fallout 76. They just released that subscription, which costs $100 a year and includes some long-requested gameplay features which could have been released as free updates as they promised to only monetize cosmetic content. And, half of the subscription features are broken, and private servers aren't really private (they're not hosted on your hardware, instead a server gets hosted by Bethesda, which might have already been played and looted/etc., friends can just join your private server and you have no way to stop them)
