Fallout Fans Disappointed $80 Nuka Dark Bottles Are Plastic
https://gamerant.com/fallout-nuka-dark-bottles-plastic/
Following Fallout 76‘s less than stellar launch and the multiple
controversies attached to the game–be it related to the canvas bag debacle
or the security breach revealing users’ personal info–there’s no doubt
that Bethesda has been having a rough time as far as public relations are
concerned. Now, it looks as if the company may face yet another PR storm, as
some fans of the post-apocalyptic RPG series are expressing their
disappointment after discovering that $80 bottles of the licensed Nuka Dark
rum inspired by the games come in plastic.
According to a post from the Redditor and Fallout fan known as
Sardonyx-LaClay, the Nuka Dark rum is being shipped in plastic shells
resembling the iconic Nuka Cola bottles from the games, which are used to
house a plain glass bottle inside that holds the adult beverage.
Sardonyx-LaClay and other fans have stepped up to voice their dissatisfaction
with the product, as they claim the original mock-up designs for the drink
had led them to believe the bottle actually housing the alcohol would favor
the rocket-like shape of those from the games and be made of glass.
Hey Bethesda, I paid $80 for your special edition rum back in September, the
least you could do is make the bottle glass. from gaming
Bethesda hasn’t publicly acknowledged the situation, but the company it gave
license to manufacture Nuka Dark rum, Silver Screen Bottling Co. (SSBC),
issued a statement regarding the Fallout-inspired product on its official
website in an effort to assuage fans who purchased the adult beverage. As
written by the COO, Sommelier, and product specialist of SSBC, Ryan McElveen,
“This is a project we are extremely proud of and we are sorry that you feel
that you were in any way deceived.”
Those who bought Nuka Dark and believe that the Fallout-themed product isn’t
up to snuff can submit a form in the “Questions About My Order” section on
Silver Screen Bottling Co.’s website right here. According to McElveen, “
[Silver Screen Bottling Co.] will work to make it right” for those who
decide to contact the company and let it know they aren’t happy with their
Nuka Dark order.
Taking all of this into consideration, it will be interesting to see if this
state of affairs relating to Nuka Dark rum will have any impact on people’s
perception of the Fallout brand overall. Beyond the backlash to this
particular marketing tie-in, it looks as if Bethesda at the very least still
has plenty of work left to do in order to fully fix Fallout 76 itself. So,
for the sake of the company and the Fallout fan community, one can only hope
the multiplayer title’s next update will start setting things back on the
right track.
Fallout 76 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
