Because of the PS3 DLC snafu?

Between the programming man hours to create DLC and fix the problems, selling it at half price and all the people like myself how are no longer playing this game and won't be buying the DLC, how much revenue has Bethesda lost?

And by extension are there any PS3 owners who are going to skip Fallout 4 because of this nightmare? I'll admit, I'm done with Skyrim but will be getting Fallout 4 day one!!

Put me in the second group. I will never buy a new Bethesda game again. Fool me once...

Not enough to get them to stop frelling over the ps3, but more than they'd like to have lost. The fact that they had to discount it probably eats away at them.

I'll end up borrowing Fallout 4 from a friend. I think too many people forgave bethesda to easily for the dlc debacle. All of us cynical people assume that the next DLC, whatever it is will once again be PS3 delayed. (but probably same day release on 360/PC)

Oppurtunity loss, but not an actual cost of sales type of lost. They are still profitable; just not as much in the PS3 category

I never gave a crap about the DLC. late or not, it's only the discount that's gotten me to want 2 of them. I don't buy a bethesda game for the DLC, I get them for a huge open world to explore, and a ton of quests right from the vanilla version.

Bugs? I've been lucky, suffering only from a handful of freezes, and an issue with the last part of oblivion's main quest, which I overcame.

Whatever we aren't paying for, they easily made up for with the sales from the PC and 360 version of the DLC. Granted, they took a fair dent from not selling on PS3 for so long, but there are even some people that sold their copy of Skyrim and bought it on 360 just to buy all the DLC. I don't think they're losing any sleep over their profits.

I don't think Fallout 4 is coming to the PS3. I understand that it is being developed for the newer consoles coming out, but I'm likely wrong.

And as for money, they will never have lost enough moneyh. People will always forgive them for making the DLC cheaper, I know I have.

I'm never wasting anymore money on any game bethe$da publishes or "developes".....

Unless I can confirm if buying one used prevents bethe$da from getting my money.
