Gamespy Associate Editor, and former Interplay Product Manager for Fallout Tactics, Allen "Delsyn" Rausch apparently really hates Fallout fans. Like, a lot. In fact, Gamespy has paid him cash money to alienate and make lies about a large portion of their audience.

A normal person would go "hey, look, an obscure license that really only had critical praise and didn't do all that well in terms of sales has been rescued from the dead by people who love it." And what was their reaction? "Oh, it's going to suck when Bethesda has it. You know what? You know nothing, shut up.
