GOG Giving Away Three Fallout Games Right Now
GOG is kicking off its winter sale in a big way. For the next 48 hours (ending at 8:59 AM Eastern on December 14), three classic Fallout games are yours for absolutely no charge, provided you have a (free) GOG account.
Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are included in the bundle. These are DRM-free versions (just like all GOG titles). Additionally, GOG has recently instituted a 30-day money back guarantee.
GOG promises that if within 30 days of purchase the title has game-breaking bugs or there are other technical problems, the purchase will be refunded. The game will be removed from your library and the full purchase price returned to the buyer. The guarantee extends to DLC and even gifts received from others, though the latter will get you a game of equal or lesser value rather than cash.
The sale runs through December 29 (though the guarantee is a permanent policy), with new deals popping up daily. During the event, users can open one of three boxes each day that might have a free game or deep discount. The packages are split up into classics, newer titles, and random games. You can check out the sale at GOG’s website.
Our Take
With Wasteland 2 now in beta for Kickstarter backers, now’s a great time to catch up with Fallout titles (Fallout is the spiritual successor to the original Wasteland). Be warned that Fallout and (especially) Fallout 2 are as unforgiving as the post-nuclear wasteland the games are set in.
Now what are you waiting for? Go get your free games.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
