Turns out he was right. Bethesda has since responded and for those hoping for a happy ending, you’ve got your wish as the studio has confirmed that they will accept his payment in bottle caps. According to an update posted by GatorMacheteJr, he too confirms that Bethesda will be accepting his payment.
Bethesda’s Matt Grandstaff was the one who reached out to him. According to GatorMacheteJr, “He told me since I was the first person to do this, I would be receiving a copy of the game this November, and that he would be running my caps over to deposit them at the People’s Bank of Point Lookout.” We suppose based on his statement, it looks like Bethesda has no plans to accept more bottle caps, so you probably shouldn’t try your luck.
Grandstaff also posted a photo on his Twitter showing that the bottle caps have indeed arrived at Bethesda’s offices along with a caption that reads, “Yes, my office smells like beer #Fallout4”. Good job Bethesda!
