The ‘payment’ arrived at its destination…
…and Seth received an email from Bethesda’s community manager, Matt Grandstaff.
Seth posted an update on imgur, sharing some of Matt’s email:
It would seem that in addition to Bethesda taking advantage of this unique story for the publicity, they also seem tickled by Seth’s sense of humor.
It certainly is impressive, hands down. Continuously hoarding bottlecaps for 7.5 years, accumulating over 2,000, is just a whole new level of devotion to a game franchise.
It all paid off in the end. Congratulations Seth!
