Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.

      There is definitely a good chance of that. Bethesda was heating up at the time and definitely catapulted the series to international success and fame.

      But, and this is just the rambling of an old man, I’m not too concerned about a games popularity. Fallout 1 and 2 are a couple of my favorite games of all time, and basically everything Troika put out are absolute gems. VTM Bloodlines is still a game I go back and play every couple of years or so.

      So yeah, there was a good chance Troika would have still gone under, and Fallout would have languished in obscurity, but I’m pretty sure one of what would have been my favorite games of all time vanished into nothingness when Troika lost that bidding war.

      Still, I can cry myself to sleep on one my other favorite games, New Vegas.
