The sad truth of the whole situation is that Fallout 76 failed, and it will be incredibly hard to pull things back. Now we're here, and Fallout 76 is the most confusing game of 2018. As more and more gameplay features were revealed, things started to look worse and worse. Wherever you looked following 76's announcement, bad news seemed to follow. Just having potential isn't enough to make a game good, and that's a lesson that Fallout 76 clearly missed. The thing is about potential is that it actually has to be used properly.

The world and monsters are interesting, and more unique than what we've seen in the series before, plus things like a photo mode are great implementations. To be honest, there are quite a few good ideas. One of the pervasive issues due to which Fallout 4 won’t launch is that there is security, for example anti-virus, firewall, anti-malware, etc. The idea of having a game like Fallout that focuses on post-apocalyptic characters being playable with a few friends is certainly an entertaining one, and with the mild success of The Elder Scrolls Online, there was no reason to expect Fallout 76 to do this badly. It might not correct all the issues that are being faced by the app, but it will try and find the root-cause of the problem due to which Fallout 4 won’t launch.
