cogadh: Possibly, I don't remember them leaving Steam, but it was a while ago. Either way, the point still stands: if whatever may have forced the games removal from GOG and Steam was some kind of legal shenanigans, why are they now back on Steam and not on GOG? Obviously whatever facilitated their removal in the first place was something that could be corrected, otherwise if they were removed from Steam, they never would have come back. I can't imagine GOG would refuse the games they launched the site with, so I can only assume Bethesda (or their lawyer) is the one at fault.
It's hard to say, but it sure seems like Bethesda is enamored of Steam now (even though the games are DRM-free there, it may just be a matter of momentum for them at this point). Maybe they found negotiating with Valve was easier than GOG? Maybe they found Valve's terms better than GOG's? Perhaps it's something contractual such as a period of exclusivity for Steam. Who knows?

The point being, I guess, that unless we know the real reason the Fallout games aren't offered here, it's silly to draw any kind of inference, good or bad. But I will say it's decidely odd that there are no Bethesda games here at all. Seems the Falout games would have been an excellent stepping stone to get Bethesda's games on here.

Tigrouju: Could you, please, add these games to your e-shop : The Elder Scrolls : Arena, The Elder Scrolls II : Daggerfall and The Elder Scrolls Adventures : Redguard ?
It's more a matter of going on Bethesda's forums and asking them to please sell those games on GOG.com. GOG can want something until the cows come home but unless the publisher that owns the rights to the game(s) in question have any interest selling their products on GOG it just wont happen.

GOG can (and does) of course initiate contact with such companies for their games but at this point it is pretty safe to assume that after being in business for 7+ years or so that GOG has been in contact with every major and probably most minor publishers as well and tried to get every possible game they could even imagine that they'd want here and if the games aren't here it's entirely in the publisher's ballpark to do something about it. The only way that happens is when people swarm the publisher to indicate they want to see it happen as publishers are unlikely to read threads like this one and even if they did, 10 people alone aren't going to change anything. :)

Is there even a reason to play these games? What do these games offer that Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim doesn't offer?

KiNgBrAdLeY7: Bethesda are pro DRM b*tches. Once, fallout series were here on GOG. As soon as the copyrights expired and became Bethesda's fully, those shameless pr*cks REMOVED those awesome, good old, classic games from here.

Elder Scrolls would have been a great addition, especially Morrowind. But as long as those idiotic clowns, who even have the audacity to think we gamers are sheeple/idiots (they posted a ridiculous/hilarious article claiming they support DRM-FREE gaming, once, some time ago), thrive, we have zero chance to see their property here. They have their own intrusive, DRM-ridden, garbage client, called U-play or whatever.

Shame, really. Games like Morrowind would be a crown jewel on gog website. Their loss. Some people prefer sailing under a black flag instead of buying a DRM-locked piece of junk.
Yeah, fuck Bethesda in the ass, seriously. The fact that Bethesda made it harder for people to get their hands on such beautiful works of art like Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, make them evil in my book. And Bethesda is pro censorship. They refuse to sell Fallout 1 with kids in it through Steam. It's not their place to decide what people should be exposed to. Fuck their rights.

Fallout is still DRM free on Steam. It's just not here for some reason.

DRM free on Steam = paradox. You mean, Fallout doesn't have a second layer of DRM on Steam, right?

No, I mean it has NO DRM on steam. As in once it is installed Steam is no longer required for it to work at all.
