Unfortunately that is the actual sub-title of the old Fallout games.

Do they actually think anyone who cares enough about their site and company to watch the stream doesn't already own Fallout?

^^^^ announcing free Fallout does that.

All I know is that I'm getting a free backup of Witcher 2. I'm happy with that.

So what was all the stuff that happened? I didn't catch the stream, but from you guys' comments it sounds like free Fallout, Mac version of Witcher, a backup copy of Witcher 2 on GOG (?), and DRM-free Ubisoft games?

It's funny, I already own 3 copies of AC1 now (original PS3 copy, a Steam copy someone gifted me not realizing I had the PS3 version, and a bonus PS3 copy that came with AC Revelations), but I'd be tempted to pick up the GOG version during a sale by itself just for the lack of DRM and PREMIUM GOODIES.

I'm still hoping that the rest of the AC series makes its way onto the service, because I know a lot of people who'd give their firstborn for a legal DRM-free version of AC2 or AC:B for PC.

And now server maintenance so you can't download the free game you probably owned already.

Okay, so how does one go about telling GOG that I own Witcher 2 on Steam? I'd love a DRM free installer for the game, but I'm not in the habit of saving my Steam emailed receipts for longer than a week or two. Will they take a screenshot of my Steam transaction history?

I'd be more excited about DRM-free Ubisoft games if they'd actually made any good games whatsoever in the past five years or so.

Sure, in a few years. They threw AssCreed1 in there because they know it will just generate new sales; they assume nobody is bothering to pirate it anymore. Now, newer games, that is a different story.

You should be able to right-click the game in your Steam library and it'll have a "CD-key(s)" option. Go plug that into GOG. Where on GOG, I don't know.

Exactly. Which makes the 20 bucks price-tag even more insulting.

But I'm sure as hell getting it for 10.

If they got these on GOG anytime soon, it would be awesome.

Those people also may have a dvd drive with a CD laser that doesn't work anymore and can't be bothered to replace the drive even though a new DVD drive is only like 25 bucks at this point. :colbert:

Do I have to have the game currently installed to get that CD Key option?

Well, guess I should start that download...maybe it'll be done by the 17th.
