Bethesda has taken the rare step of debunking today's Fallout 76 rumor that it would be going free to play. The rumor stemmed from copies of the game reportedly being pulled from brick-and-mortar stores. This led some Redditors to opine that Fallout 76 would soon be going free to play. However, Bethesda, in response to a Twitter user demanding a refund if the rumors are true, simply said, "There is no truth to this rumor."

Thank you for your time!

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Though I guess that isn't the worst insult I'd give a game last year. If Koei Tecmo paid me to give Dynasty Warriors 9 another chance, I still wouldn't.
If this one goes F2P in a month or two, then that's a pretty boldfaced lie right there.

and you are trying way to hard to be edgy, that line is so passe.
Those are pretty big reasons they didn't go to Steam, but there is another thing to consider (Also a consideration for The Division 2) My guess is that the loss of income from the share on steam is far worse in cases like these. Let's face it: Fallout 76 and The Division 2 both have far larger install bases on console then PC. So what few sales they have on Steam is probably better off that they get a bigger cut. You have to also remember that specifically with The Division 2, Epic and Ubisoft probably worked out an even better deal for them to put it on Epic Store.
Either way, both games live and die by their console success; not PC success.
So onto the topic at hand..
I mean, it will go F2P eventually. It just isn't for a while still, probably end of the year is my guess. The game is still pretty new. At this point it would be a waste of money to transition to F2P (As there is a cost involved) as the stink of launch is still going. There are still controversies popping up. While minor, they need to wait for the press to move on for a while before the change.
The development plan for Destiny was laid out before D1 launched as well, in a contract between Bungee and Activision .....
Big discounts in their store - which helps to promote their store as well - perhaps.
I personally prefer physical games, but i strongly believe that if a game cannot be played completely offline then it has no reason to be released physically.
Bethesda could have saved themselves the hassle you described above since it is unlikely they will profit from this game without a major rework or fix.
Just uninstalled world of warcraft know what you mean!
