Alex vs Bethesda
The games Limited Edition version shipped promising a canvas bag. However, the bag that arrived was a very cheap plastic fabric bag. This created a huge controversy online, spearheaded mostly by AlexanderDeLarge on Reddit.
On June 7th 2019, Bethesda finally announced[1] they would be shipping out replacement canvas bags, over 9 months after the controversy began.
The Duping Drama
The first few months of the game were riff with bugs, specifically bugs that allowed unchecked duping of items. Alex and ScubaSteve were the two most notorious dupers of The WIDEVERSE, filling several alt characters with literal tons of duped items.
