Fallout Franchise Gone from GOG

As it was hinted earlier last month, GOG.com have had to cease offering the original Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics games as part of their selection - a move that can be seen as sort of a milestone for GOG, who had been providing a convenient, legit source for those since the very beginning of the service. If you had obtained Fallout previously though, such as through a purchase or during their mid-December free offering, Good Old Games says you will still be able to download the installers - although you must have had already made the code registration or made the purchase before Dec 31st, as any unredeemed free offering codes are no longer valid. Gift codes obtained outside this giveaway are, on the other hand, still good to get a copy.

Here's to another tumultous year for the Fallout franchise ;)

Interplay giving them away last month was their last big "eff you" to Bethesda then eh?

First time Interplay is the good guy for as long as I can remember. Good on them. :clap:
 
how did that happen? I mean ... why did Interplay lost all that is Fallout to Bethesda? Didnt this all started with Bethesda buying the right to make 2 new games ... now they own the whole franchise :irked:

Interplay didn't make the MMO fast enough so Zenimax sued their lazy asses. /nutshell
 
Some dude made a poem about this:

I just hope Bethesda will give up the code to the games, now they control the lot...:puppy-dog:
 
Such a disaster Bethesda owning the rights.

I applaud Interplay for one last F-U to Bethesda.

Btw, does anyone know what went between Interplay and Bethesda? summary please ;) Because for years I only seen bits and pieces about the law suites and a lot of speculations, initially I assumed that Bethesda was trying to fuck Interplay, but from what I glimpsed since, it seems that failing Interplay was unable to make good on its end and was trying to leech on Bethesda success.
 
Still better than beth :twisted:
at least thier fallout won't be called "masterpees" RPG.
(I know it's actually masterpiece.)
 
What about Steam? Still for sale there, and quite possibly under Bethesda's guidance, but it's still sold in the "Fallout Collection". Didn't Bethesda object to that collection (or at least its name)?
 
Btw, his post makes sense:
I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be available anywhere. Things w/ game have to be fixed when there's a change of publisher.
...
Have to remove interplay publisher stuff. Terms of service. Legal. That kind of thing

So we might see those game return, only this time with a new red tape from beth on the wrapping.
 
So instead of Interplay intro we will have Bethesda?

I'm with fred2, I only know bits of the whole InterplayxBethesda

Bethesda bought the full rights to the Fallout franchise from Interplay a time back. Interplay retained the rights to all previously published Fallout games, and was allowed to continue selling the Fallouts that had been released. In the fallout (pun intended) from the legal issues over Interplay not releasing Fallout Online within the timeframe established from the IP sale, Interplay was only allowed to sell previous Fallout titles until the end of 2013 where the rights would revert back to Bethesda.


In a nut-shell.
