It doesn't seem likely at this point. It's been six months and they haven't even returned to Steam which Bethesda said was a priority.

They are back on Steam, they came back there nearly instantly. I also got all the games, but I would like to have all of them DRM free. Simply because I don't trust Steam. It only takes one buyer of Steam to make all your investments there nulled. The most important factor being that all games there are considered 'subscription'. Don't believe me? Check the EULA again. What is so scary here is that so many developers invest in their multiplayer tech, without any kind of fallback. Should anything happen to them. And that is just one weakness of many. Don't get me wrong, I do like Steam. When it is working. I just fear the day when it won't any longer.

They are not available for purchase at this time. I just checked. They show up in the catalogue but there is no purchase button.
I checked occasionally since Bethesda took over and as far as I can tell they haven't been avaialable for purchase on Steam since they took over even thought they said it was a priority for them to get the games ready, as zaine-h said.

Thats weird, I see them when I check. I can't speak for the purchase button though, as I already got them. But regardless, this is a mess. I would think Bethesda would be happy of sales, but I guess they aren't :/

Well, at least the people who purchased can still download. I wasn't sure until your reply. But all they had to do was put their own brand on it (I think) and they don't seem to care.
Thankfully I purchased these games on GOG as soon as the store first opened years ago.

They haven't been available for purchase at all since January, hence my statement about them not returning yet. Honestly, I don't care about your position on Steam. All I care is that Bethesda said they would be available to purchase on Steam in January. If they can't be bothered to put them up for sale on Steam where they have almost every other game in their catalogue, the chance of it coming to GOG is between 0.1% and never.

Attached are screenshots of the Fallout and Fallout 3 store pages when not signed in. As you will clearly note, the Fallout page is missing the Buy Fallout 3 box under the screenshots.

Ah, I understand. Sorry.
They are back on Steam once more for 9.99 each or 19.99 for all three.

Looks like they added some mods to the default version. Not worth rebuying IMHO, GOG's versions still work good.
