GOG has Fallout 1,2 and Tactics free for two days!

[Jodell88]

The site's getting hammered right now and I can't log in. Bunch of cheap bastards. ()

 

[Gloomy]

Can these be added to Steam?

 

[ImpulsE69]

Thanks for the heads up. Grabbed Tactics. Already had the others


And no Gloomy, these are DRM free.

 

[Chiropteran]

The gog.com server is suffering some fallout as well.

 

[Dahak]

yep, we are hurting the stuffed bear

Sagged Fallout2 and Tactics, already had fallout 1

 

[shortylickens]

Figures. I just paid 10 bucks for them on Steam.

 

[sweenish]

Got Tactics (already had 1 & 2), I almost have as many free as paid games from gog. Granted, most of those are already freeware, but still.

 

[lupi]

Gonna guess I have all of these already. Bought tactics and think they gave at least #1 away at some other point.

 

[Pheran]

Site is so hammered right now I can't even get it. My first attempt resulted in a completely blank order going through.

 

[acheron]

Was trying to add them to my account via my phone, but couldn't get it to work. Guess everyone's having trouble then.

Ehh don't feel bad. I have probably bought them at least 3 times,
once on steam as a whime, original cds, and now on gog

Also over at Ars Technica once the distribution rights goes over to Bethesda they don't know what will happen to fallout on Steam or GOG but if you have them in your library you should be good

 

[rivethead]

Site is SLOW....but I was just able to snag all three.

Keep trying and be patient.

 

[DefDC]

Nice. I'll have to grab Tactics when I get home. It's the only PC Fallout game I haven't completed.

They can be launched through steam like any other external game, but why would you want to add them anyway? They're old games so there's no need for automatic patching.

 

[Elixer]

Nice old games.. and DRM free... and it is free.. what more can you want ?

 

[Imaginer]

Thanks OP! Now I have ALL THE FALLOUT! (for now, until the supposed 4...)

 

[fixbsod]

score! apparently i already had #1 free from some other giveaway but ill take the other 2. purchased fo 3 and new vegas on ps3 and pc, so free for the other ones is always nice.

So that I can keep the majority of my games through steam and download/play them at a whim at any point in the future.

I already have about ten games on steam sales that I havent played yet. I'm going to grab tactics but may not play it for some time.

 

[Dahak]

For Games external to steam, they would have to be installed first before you can add them. But for GOG games, you can download and install them as needed. Or you can have them all installed at once and add them to steam and play anytime.

Its not like these are big games all 3 total is just under 3GB

GOG's got that covered as well, just log onto your account and download as many times as you please. Often much faster than steam in my experience.

Why would you want to voluntarily DRM something?

 

[raasco]

Sweet, I got all three! It actually paid for me to procrastinate for once in my life.

 

[Via]

Cool.

I've never played Tactics, but I think it's one of the first demos I ever installed. Now I can.

Yeah I've purchased Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 many times over. But for the entertainment I got out of them its worth it.

Did anyone else notice this?

Please note that all three classic Fallout titles are pending right holder change. Sadly, to the best of our knowledge, we'll be forced to remove Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics from our offer. That doesn't mean, however, that you won't be able to download them if they are already a part of collection by then. Secure your copies today (or anytime before Saturday, December 14, at 1:59PM GMT)!

Hmm, wonder if this is a way to show them the finger... heh
