The IP *was* irrelevant though. Bethesda picked it up for pennies and used it for their new oblivion with guns game on a whim. There's basically nothing that carries over from the original Fallouts to Fallout 3 aside from a few names and the cool looking power armour. 95+% of the millions of people (mainly children and teenagers) who bought and loved Fallout 3 had ever heard of Fallout let alone played it. And most of the RPG codex/no mutants allowed/whatever random RPG forum that's somehow still alive types who worship Fallout had already written off Fallout 3 because it was made by the same company that made Oblivion (which was critically panned by forum users across the internet). Fallout was a cult classic sure but the whole point of *cult* is that the fanbase is small and nobody except a small group of (probably autistic) superfans cares about it. Something like Age of Decadence is a cult classic on the level that Fallout was in 2007 in these communities but if you think an FPS using it's post apocalyptic romepunk setting would get any traction from being a sequel in the same IP you're delusional.
