Grargar: Considering that the game was removed from Steam as well, I doubt it was possible to keep it up. My suspicions for their general removal are that Bethesda wasn't allowed to keep on selling the games with Interplay's logo (since Interplay is still a functional company, but no longer responsible for Fallout) and had to change it to their own, before they were able to continue selling them.
Except it wasn't removed from Steam, its still there now. Bethesda is listed as the publisher and Interplay as the developer. I seriously doubt logos had anything to do with it, since even if the publisher/rights holder changed, Interplay will always be the developer of record. Even if it was due to some obscure trademark issue or something, they obviously were able to get around it on Steam, why not on GOG?
