Fallout 76 has proved to be a misstep for Bethesda, the game was not only panned but it damaged the reputation of the Fallout franchise significantly. However, it seems that players are still on the game in a micro-economy. Through duplication and a lack of regulation, some in-game sellers have made as much as $50k in under a year.

Fallout is an established post-apocalyptic RPG series and until recently held the crown in this sub-genre of gaming. Yet the release of the online-focused Fallout 76 saw outcry, not only because of a lack of NPC's which made the original series so memorable but also because it was incredibly hard to play because of bugs. While the market seemed to leave the game in a forgotten bunker, players have kept plugging away and have found a need for particular items.

eBay has listings for entrepreneurs selling weapons in Fallout 76, after purchasing an item, players will then meet in the game and trade. Utilizing duplication glitches the sellers have amassed impressive collections to sell on. There are plenty of bugs in Fallout 76, however, this is the most financially rewarding with sellers making thousands of dollars. This practice was complicated in February as Bethesda began banning players for utilising duplication glitches. Yet business seems to have picked up once more.
