Hello guys,
since Fallout 4 anouncement I want to make sure I get it as soon as possible. Preferably from GOG. Where is the preorder link? (throwing money on the screen).

Thank you in advance

There is non at probably won't be any, because it's very unlikely that Bethesda won't put some DRM on Fallout 4, thus there will be no place for it here.

*face palm*

Oh, so I'm mistaken? Well... I was sure that it won't happen <drm-free version from Bethesda>, but please - elaborate instead of face palming.

I just happen to believe the OP is well aware how unlikely the idea is, so your serious reply makes it seem like it went right over your head.

That said, I don't think Bethesda has much of a problem with abandoning DRM. Their real problem seems to be a hatred for PC gamers and customer support. By limiting themselves to just one platform via PC, namely Steam, they make PC sales more predictable and severely cut down support costs by not having to make separate (DRM free) builds and maintaining customer support for the various versions. They basically see it like this: There are Xboxes, Playstations and PCs (meaning Steam), anything beyond this is too risky and probably too costly.

In an ideal world for Bethesda, everyone would buy a console and development costs and future support needs are cut drastically.

I don't think you're mistaken, I think the facepalm was at the OP. Bethesda loves DRM and seems to hate GOG, as they won't even release DRM-free games they own (like the original Fallouts) here.

Fallout 4 being released on GOG seems higly unlikely, to say the least. If I'm mistaken and the facepalm was not aimed at the OP, then I'd like the facepalmer to elaborate as well.

I was wondering if the question was serious, but decided to answer it nonetheless. I already saw some outrageous questions ask seriously, so no harm in providing, however obvious, answer.

And you have a point - it surely would be a perfect world for Bethesda, minimalizing costs like that. Especially because they are running on the name 'Fallout' which will give them enough recognition to have good sales (unless they really done goofed the game itself that no amount of sugartalk would fix it). But we shall see this when the game is out.

Yes, my question was serious as I would really love to purchase it via GOG. Its sad Bethesda has such attitude towards DRM. Anyway, thanks everyone for their input.

I personally Dislike Steam and all things Steam.

Don't developers realize that Steam drives customers to hacked/free/noSteam versions of their products?

I will be per-ordering from the developer for their DVD's-BluRay's, without STEAM.....

Eh... Steam is by far the number one platform for most PC games. Also, few games are actually sold on discs these days, all you get is some outdated preload data and a steam key. Developers and publishers may play a tiny violin for all the steam haters like yourself though for nickels lost while raking in millions.

Well... good luck pre-ordering a physical copy of Fallout 4 that doesn't come with a Steam code. Most games don't come with discs anymore, and those who do don't even have the game in it.

Yeah all 500 hundred of them compared to how many on Steam?

Is this true?

There's gonna be a Fallout 4?

There is but Bethesda are bad and we're not allowed to play it. :(

Splendid !
