Or, it could be titled 'Why Fallout Fans Are So Angry And Why They Have A Right To Be'. :)
Seriously though, this long three-part article is a very interesting read. The Fallout fan community is well known for being very angry at ... well, a lot of things, but particularly anything that threatens their idea of what an ideal Fallout game is, and this article does a great job of both reviewing the history of why things got to where they ended up and what they think about the attitudes and situation. Of course, it is written by a longtime member of the best known hardcore Fallout fansite, so it is not exactly impartial, but I don't think anyone outside the community could have done anywhere near this good a job of reviewing the whole situation... in addition to just this case, the article covers issues of developer-fanbase relations and many other issues.
Seriously, read it. It's very well done and quite interesting.
