if thats the case, everybody should have stopped liking fallout after the brotherhood of steel game came out. and yet they didnt.
Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show
Rhoeri@piefed.world 6 hours agoIt’s like how I can’t stand to watch Kevin Spacey movies after we all found out about who he is.
Does it mean he’s no longer a talented actor? No. Does it make his movies suck? No. Does it taint everything he ever did and now seeing him reminds you of how shitty he is as a person?
a Resounding and emphatic- YES.

That would be a good comparison if Fallout as a franchise was a person who committed sexual assault I guess

The crime doesn’t have to equate to ha e the same effect. Someone should have probably explained this to you by now.
When I said, “It’s like….” I didn’t mean “it’s identical to…” Understanding nuance goes a long way in these cases.

The crime doesn’t have to equate? Why bring up Kevin Spacey’s crimes at all? How is that relevant to not liking the direction a franchise went?
I don’t feel that “this franchise went in a bad direction, so now I can’t enjoy the previous works” is anything like “this person is a sexual predator, so now I can’t enjoy their previous works”.
It would be really awkward to watch a known sexual predator in a movie, even if the movie predates the crime. The existence of the Fallout TV show has no effect on Fallout 1 as a game.
What a weird turn this conversation took lol

Are you purposefully missing the point in favor of grandstanding, or did you seriously not understand the comparison for what it was?
