I’m in the same boat but having a blast with FO76. I’m glad I waited since the rocky launch back in 2018 - while the game is still far from perfect, it’s a lot of fun to play and Bethesda did a good job fixing up the game.

How do you guys cook your fumes?
I crank up all the performance settings and keep Ling’s website on 24x7. Nothing makes a more decadent fume than running state-of-the-art portable gaming hardware on shitty web code. Can’t beat the high off of Steam Deck engineers’ imaginary tears.
make it available to anyone
To do what?
It did? Source?
Big if true.
Treated with the same care - yes. Treated with the same expectation - no.
By definition Beta is going to have bugs and given enough time and effort Valve will find it. But you wanted the updates faster and that’s the cross you bear by switching to Beta. What happened to you sucks but if you don’t want to catch bugs then switch to prod / stable channel, simple.
Question for you since you work in dev. How annoyed do you get when users confuse beta with prod?
Yeah, I’m still playing a fair bit of GamePass on the Deck (Starfield!) I used the method via Microsoft’s official support article and it’s holding up pretty well.
It’s server-based so you need to be online to play. However you can pretty much play it solo without interacting with other players (which is how I generally play it, save the occasional events and challenges).
They’ve added significant amount of content post-launch which includes new locations, NPCs, missions etc so it’s not too bad, although I would say NPCs aren’t as well put together as other Fallout games.
