Why do they need to release for the newest version? If they were going to release soon anyways, just release for the old version of Fallout.
I'm picturing the number of messages they'd receive the day the update hit. People suck. Most will understand that they need to hold off on updating if they want to play the mod, some will seek support when it breaks. Some of those will say "that makes sense" and disappointedly wait for the mod to update, some of those will get angry. I certainly wouldn't want an inevitable flood of angry emails a few days after the big release.
Yeah it doesn't help that the Steam version would likely try to auto-update and I don't believe there is an easy way to downgrade.
I could be wrong about that latter point. There might be an option in the properties menu similar to how you can opt into betas.
You have to disable automatic updates manually but it is possible.
Yup, if you use mods, it's a good idea to set the game to update on launch through the game's properties menu in its steam library listing.
Since a F4SE nodded game is going to launch through the script extender's launcher, that keeps the game from updating automatically when starting a play session.
I also like to make a copy of my game folder and save it off in another drive so I have a backup.
I know it's been possible to downgrade Skyrim after updates, but not through any official means, might be the same with FO4, not sure though.
Seriously, especially if it really screwed them over. And I thought he was just celebrating this?
If I recall correctly, they were essentially sponsored by Bethesda. They aren't just not releasing it, they got told by Bethesda not to so the release wouldn't detract from the renewed fallout hype because of the TV show.
Scummy move on Bethesda's part, not the dev's fault.
