Don't know. I bought mine from Steam. It probably is true, though.

How many Fallout 4 topics do you need @james47

Can't you just ask in an already existing one?

To answer your question though and save anyone checking out some random guy yelling at a game. That video is posted from 2015 Fallout 4s release month no-less, and that itself should answer your question towards a game that's since been heavily patched with a ton of community fix support as well on P.C.

@RSM-HQ:
Like is said before no one is forced to answer....

The gaming industry is so fucking dumb these days.

@ruthaford_jive:

They simply jealous the way Governments work. They want to be just like them. Pain in the ass. Also you paying for it.

The whole thing is simple. When a company does BULLSHIT, don't buy their products. They will go crazy cause they will not know how they will get their money back....

Yeah it's pretty silly, even these days, to require an online connection to play a game. I first experienced this with Bioshock way back; I was all stoked, bought into the hype, and when I tried to load it up "Bioshock requires an online authentication..." blah blah blah.

I did not have internet at the time, this was like 2007 and believe it or not some people just don't have internet. So I had to lug my PC and monitor to my friends house where he had internet, load it up to get it registered, while his hot sister is like "Oh. My. God. What are you doing? For a video game? Nerd" and I was like "WTF" but at the same time ashamed because, well...she hot.

TL;DR: the whole experience soured me on this draconian measure. If you buy a physical copy of the game, it should not require any internet connection. Period.

@mrbojangles25:
I mean yeah, you right. By the time you buy a physical CD of the game it mustn't require an internet connection cause as you said before not everyone has an internet connection.
And why they do that in the first place. ?
They should make the whole authentication situation like no internet. Straight from from the box. Just by typing the code from the box without an internet connection.
I mean the problem is not only that the CD doesn't have the whole game on it and you have to download the rest of it but also you need an internet connection to activate the game.

The whole situation makes you wanna quit buying games that has this problem. And that problem is in every game nowadays.

@Yams1980:
In a nutshell we have to quit buying games until they fix the problem. They spiting on our faces and we think that it's raining.
This is not how things work, you either create a game that is decent to the public, or you don't release it at all.
It's a humiliation to the players....

@james47: I still gave you an answer; the video is from Fallout 4s launch month. A bad source for judging a games quality in 2018 which has been updated a lot since 2015.

Reading helps. But continue with your rant if it helps your karma_

@RSM-HQ:
Just because the video is old doesn't mean that they changed the copies Bethesda released to the public.
The game does not change unless they fix the problem and re-release it again.
In a nutshell the game remains the same.

On PC? No, because many PC gamers have already gone digital, personally I don't even have a disk drive in mine. But yes, it shouldn't be that way on consoles at least, not when you buy the physical copy.

Also, I get that fat ass is just playing a persona, but it's still annoying.

@Yams1980: I remember Fallout 3 launched with tons of Games for Windows Live problems, so that wasn't free from online activation issues.

Anyway, PC gaming turned primarily digital in 2004. There's not much controversy about this anymore, and it definitely doesn't excuse piracy^^^.

@james47: Agreed. It's about power, and the fear of losing that power once you've achieved it.
