Fallout 1 sold 600k copies. Fallout 2 sold 125k.
Fallout 3 sold 12 million Copies. Fallout 4 sold 25 million copies.
I guess my point is that you have no argument. Bethesda fallout is undeniably the dominant and mainstream version of fallout that people know.

I think you are mistaking me for t0fr. While I do think you had a terrible take, and did ask how it was relevant to what t0fr said about Bethesda’s Fallouts being known for having worse writing, I never argued that Bethesda’s games weren’t the most well known in the series. So, again I fail to see how what you are saying has any relevance to what was asked…
But, for the sake of argument, the StarWars sequel trilogy had the highest combined box office of any of the trilogy’s by far. Does that mean the Sequel trilogy is the best of the three? Does that mean that long time fans shouldn’t get an opinion when stories that they loved get steamrolled over?
Dont get me wrong, I’m enjoying the Fallout show, and I like the Bethesda games. But sales numbers and ownership aren’t the be all end all of what makes good fiction. And pretending like it is largely plays a roll in why we get so much high budget schlock.
