Well, Fallout 76 is multiplayer, so that complicates things heavily in terms of bugs and polish compared to those other titles you listed.

As well, this is Bethesda's first multiplayer game, so expect it to have a lot more bugs than your typical Bethesda launch.

Could be, but then just give the devs more time. As with RDR2 and their 100h week statement these massive day one patches just scream bad management.

Oh, I agree it sounds poorly managed. I expect the first month or two to be a complete disaster in terms of bugs.

Not their first multiplayer game, Elder Scrolls Online?

'Bethesda Softworks' is the publisher for both, but ESO was made by a different studio -- 'ZeniMax Online Studios'. 'Bethesda Game Studios' is responsible for the mainline Fallout and Elder Scrolls games, including now Fallout 76. I think this is their first multiplayer title.
