Tim Cain, lead on the original Fallout game, praised the new Fallout TV show but expressed frustration with fans' destructive behavior towards people involved in the series.

Tim Cain, one of the creators of the Fallout franchise, revealed in an interview that the reason the game's world is a radioactive wasteland is because China discovered that the U.S. was conducting illegal bioweapons research involving the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). In retaliation, China launched nuclear weapons, resulting in the fallout that created mutated and hostile species in the U.S. This revelation solves one of the biggest mysteries in the Fallout franchise, but there are still many more unanswered questions.
Tim Cain, co-creator of Fallout, revealed in an interview that China launched the first nuclear missiles in the Fallout universe's Great War because America was creating bio-weapons and refused to stop when asked, despite tense geopolitical relations. This settles one of the biggest mysteries in Fallout lore.
Tim Cain, co-creator of the original Fallout RPG, has settled the long-standing debate on who dropped the first nuclear bomb in the game's universe. Confirming popular theories, Cain revealed that it was China who initiated the nuclear apocalypse due to their discovery of the US military's development of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). The virus, which caused mutations in creatures and humans, was being hidden by the US, leading to China's decision to launch the first strike. Cain's explanation aligns with in-game lore and sheds light on the relationship between the US, Canada, and China in the Fallout universe.
The Outer Worlds, the spacefaring RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment, was pitched as a more casual game with a sense of "Fallout meets Firefly."

Tim Cain, co-creator of the Fallout series, has revealed that the true purpose of the vaults was to help scientists figure out how humans might survive interstellar travel. The idea was conceived after Fallout 1 came out in 1997. The head of the Enclave and the US government hatched a plan to build a starship that would take "our best and brightest" to a distant solar system in the hope of colonising a suitable planet. The starship would have to be multi-generational, and Vault-Tec thought it could use the vaults to figure out the technology that would get the job done.
