Fallout 76 free on Steam — for people who already own it on PC

Interstellar

Fallout 76 is launching on Steam April 14 with its big Wastelanders update. Bethesda announced that players who already own the game on Bethesda.net will get a copy for free on Steam — if they link their accounts by April 12.

Players must link their Bethesda.net and Steam accounts by April 12 to get the free copy. Anyone who links their accounts on time will “automatically receive a copy of the game on Steam,” according to the company.

In February, Bethesda said that players aren’t able to transfer Atoms or Fallout 1st memberships between accounts, but noted that items purchased in the Atomic Shop will be shared across Steam and Bethesda’s own launcher.

Alongside the Wastelanders launch, Bethesda said it’s giving away its Fallout Classic Edition — Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics — for free to anyone playing on Steam between April 14-28.

I wonder if this game is going to be review bombed at launch

I noticed just today this was already in my Steam library. Personally, I wouldn't opt into to linking my account to Steam. I know ESO players experienced log on and server issues with linked accounts via Steam. It just adds a layer of authentication where something can go wrong.
