Why did Bethesda latch on to Vault Boy so hard when he wasn't even shown that much outside of the manual/intro in the first two games?
Why do normalfags love this guy so much?

They understand marketing?

You're trying to hard.

The Vault Boy was always a prominent little character in Fallout, he was in all of the perk icons, karma icons and reputation icons.

You'd know that if you had actually played the games.

An easily replicated mascot figure that is featured predominantly in the source material, and here is the interesting part, largely as a easily replicated mascot.

I'm honestly surprised that Bethseda hasn't tried doing some kind of ARG shit and making a fake Vault-Tec deal.

dear O.P, his real name is "pipboy," he was always a big part of fallout, Bethesda later changed the name to "vault boy," for legal reasons.

It wasn't worth shit to them anyway

They couldn't even manage to get out Van Buren much less any other game.

No, they were taken the franchise into the ground. All the games interplay produced where never as good as the first one and they became subsequently worse after each installment.
Bethesda got the IP for cheap because it wasn't worth that much. It's worth alot more now because Bethesda saved the franchise and resurrected it to a better.
Think about it, if interplay still had the IP, we would get more Brotherhood of Steel and a shitty MMO.

OP is a perfect example of a newfag Fallout fan trying to pretend to be an oldfag.

They're worse than newfag Fallout fans, honestly. Like those kids who boast on social media saying he was born in the Bieber generation but rather listen to Led Zep.

That's not the point OP's trying to make, idiot.

He just doesn't realize that Vault Boy could easily be turned into a symbol for marketing purposes.
