Bethesda Received Death Threats Over Fallout 3


Former Bethesda artist Jonah Lobe reveals that the studio received death threats during the development of Fallout 3. Lobe says that these abusive messages came from fans of the classic games, and were in response to the Elder Scrolls studio buying the rights to the series. As reported by Kotaku, Lobe revealed this in a recent YouTube video that goes over his time at Bethesda. This included dealing with the Fallout playerbase, which Lobe says contained "more than its average share of less-than-pleasant fans". He says that the company received "a lot of death threats" during this time, so much so that Bethesda had to hire a security guard. This was backed up by fellow former Bethesda dev Jeff Gardiner, who added that one of these death threats came in through a fax machine.
