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 Gift-codes for these three games acquired in our recent giveaway are no longer valid.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!

Shaolin_sKunk: Interplay raised the price of a bunch of their games a while back, Fallout included.
Yep, they raised the Fallout prices, among others, to 9.99 in January 2013 -- so the Fallout's were at that price point for almost exactly the last full year that they were on GOG, being removed in January 2014.

Can we please get over it someday? It's nearly six month since the games are removed. Everyone was able to buy them here for years or even get them for free.

Bethesda don't want to sell them here. Fine. Even GOG don't see this a foreseeable future, if there was the slightest chance to get Bethesda to sell there games here, they would not gave away the games for free. So they will not come back.

But a matter of mere days since they re-appeared on Steam, so naturally some people's interest is aroused again. For those who've stopped caring, there are other threads.

Not really.

See, not only Fallout are the best videogames in my opinion, they are also the reason why I arrived to gog in the first place, so they are now very much linked to 'the core of gog' in my eyes, its fundation. They're like the gogest games of the while history of gogism, and it still feels as if someone had stolen gog's backbone and ran away with it...

Hence everlasting argl.

The problem is this is only true for the vast majority of GoG users who already own Fallout, not everyone else (potential new customers) and that pretty much is all Bethesda cares about, where can they put their games that will have the most exposure. Fallout doesn't 'belong' anywhere. Yea it would be great if the game was sold here and pretty much any other distributor because it's a good game. But it's not 'entitled' to be on a service, no matter what the title of the site is. If that was the case, every single classic game would be on here.

Not going to bother getting the Steam versions. Already have the DRM free GOG versions, don't really care to see what Bethesda did to the games, and I'm not giving them my money anytime soon.

But they added little lamplight and Washington DC!

Bethesda must need the classic Fallout games only on Steam so they can showcase all the special Steam features these games must now have in order to encourage gamers to buy their newer Steam-exclusive games.

I mean, the GOG classic Fallout games didn't have achievements or cloud saves, and these almost 20 year old games didn't have auto-patches either to cater for all the ongoing updates... you were like forced to download the whole game... once! Completely ridiculous!!!!!

Am I completely oblivious to the childish hate towards Bethesda? Seems like everyone who's complaining needs to grow up a little.

Fortunately I already own the GOG versions, so I don't need to grow up! ;)

A lot of people have this intense hate for Bethesda. I never really understood it. It's like they are just never satisfied, while I on the other hand am blown away by a pretty damn good chunk of their games.

I don't get the hate man...
Posted June 21, 2014
I think most of the hate is just them not signing onto work with GOG. If and when that finally happens, quit a number of the naysayers will be very happy and shovel out the cash for their games when they arrive bit by bit (again, if that happened). We can only hope for the best and can do our part and nag Bethesda in the meantime :)

Sometimes people also forget that gamers have a voice, whether or not companies want to admit it. We ultimately can bring change regarding how the entire industry can turn out, especially when it comes to DRM-free gaming.
