Today, we bid farewell to the legendary post-apocalyptic 2D classics.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we needed to pull the three classic Fallout games, that is Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics, from sale and remove them from our DRM-free catalog. These classic titles have been with us since day one, that is for over 5 years now, and they were always one of the highlights of the selection of games that we offer. There are very few titles in the history of computer role-playing games, that have had so much impact on the gaming landscape, players' expectations, and even the popular culture. The iconic setting, the memorable quotes, and unparalleled amount of fun and challenge these games provide--it's all burned in the memory of a whole generation of gamers. Probably even more than just one generation. It was an honor to have you here, Fallout. Take good care of yourself out there, try not to mistake a gecko for G.E.C.K. (not even remotely the same thing!), and remember to take your Rad-X pills!

All those who acquired Fallout, Fallout 2, or Fallout Tactics on GOG.com prior to the date of removal (that is before Tuesday, December 31st 2013, at 3:59PM GMT), will still be able to download the games' install files (as well as the bonus content) via the "My Games" section of their user accounts. Gift-codes for these three games acquired in our recent giveaway are no longer valid. However, if you own a gift-code for any or all of them that was purchased outside of the said giveaway, you'll still be able to redeem it in the foreseeable future.

We sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience this situation may have caused you. We invite you to browse through 671 other fantastic titles offered in our DRM-free catalog of the best games in history, and we wish you a Happy New Year of gaming!

Luckmann: Money-grubbing hooknoses
I can't quite decide what's uglier. People still expressing variants of the ancient idiotic racist stereotype that jews are greedy.

GordanShumway: Excellent word usage
Or people publicly applauding it.

GordanShumway: I will be using "hooknose" as often as possible
This does seem helpful, though, in that it will allow people to sooner estimate your intellectual capacity.

What friend?
The reason seems to be this.

Interesting that the only part that got you wondering is the "friend".

I guess you should know better, you're the one who made the bet :-P

Wow that's a shock!!! This is a loved classic, wonder why it's being pulled?

I'm glad I have them anyway...

TDP: Zenimax just has completely ignorant execs who cling on to DRM. That's what it boils down to.
Before you call someone ignorant, you should educate yourself on the situation first. As I already posted on the very same page as you, Bethesda's VP posted on Twitter that Fallout shouldn't be available on Steam right now either, so they're not just picking on GOG.

It also has nothing to do with DRM as the Fallout classics on Steam do not use Steam's DRM. In other words, after downloading it from Steam, you can backup the directory, move it to another computer and do whatever you want with it, just like you can with the GOG version because it will run without Steam. Older Bethesda titles on Steam like Fallout 3, Oblivion and Morrowind also don't use Steam's DRM.
It appears the three Interplay Fallout games are no longer available to buy on Steam:

Maybe there's still hope for us.
Thanks! +1

What you are saying about abscence of DRM on older titles is inconsistent with what a bunch of people in this thread has said. In the case of Fallout 3 it is wrong since it uses GFWL. (Cracks being easily availble or the DRM being buggy/ineffective in the case of Fallout 3 doesn't render it non-DRM all of the sudden)
GOG still did an awesome job trolling Bethesda.

"You want the rights to this game you didn't make? Alright. We'll just give it away to everyone for free!"

Yes, it is just not set in the Fallout universe any more.

Have never seen a customer who paid for a game say that it was removed from their account. It's a certainty that if a company pulled that with this service, the entire user base would go ballistic. However, just in case, it's definitely a good idea to keep backups. LOTS of backups. As in, "if my computer has to be reformatted", "if my discs get scratched", "if my external hard drive goes down", "if I don't have the internet anymore" and "if my house burns down" layers of backups.
