Not to mention the vast majority of the current Fallout fanbase are only fans because Bethesda revived the series.

I'm a believer in death of the author. I agree that your own perception of it is more important than the intention of the author/creator. Still doesn't make it non-canon material. Just means that you don't consider it canon.
