News Sony Revokes Free Fallout 4 Season Pass Purchases on PS4
Understandable
You win some, you lose some – but you've always got to try. Sony accidentally listed Fallout 4's pricey Season Pass for free late last week, leading many to believe that they'd nabbed all of Bethesda's post-release content at a complimentary fee. However, it's since revoked access to the DLC, so you'll need to stump up if you want...

Update 1.4 for Fallout 4 will arrive on PlayStation 4 this week, according to Bethesda.

You asked for it
Fallout 4 is a funny game, isn't it? This author enjoyed his time with it enough to unlock the coveted Platinum Trophy, but looking back it's hard not to feel a little disappointed.
