I have Fallout Classic, but why are they offering Fallout now and it says I don't own it.

I'm confused at what is going on. Is it a money grab or does the release of Fallout include stuff that I didn't get in Fallout Classic.

I also own Fallout Tactics, but it says I don't own it when I go to the FOT page, because I have "Classic".

Fallout "Classic" were the Interplay owned games, and now these Fallout games are the Bethesda owned Fallout games. The Classic has more goodies, but the FO Bible isn't canon anymore.

So it's the same thing? Why did they do that...makes no sense, when FO2 is the same exact thing..

It does make sense from a business perspective, as the current Fallout is under the Bethesda banner as they own the IP outright.
Two other differences:

Fallout Classic comes with many extras, but Bethesda Fallout does not.
Bethesda Fallout gives you Arena and Daggerfall for free, but Fallout Classic does not. (Then again, you can get those games for free elsewhere, and if you really want the GOG versions, just buy any other Bethesda game on this site.)

I see. Thanks
