Only discount on steam

I noticed Fallout is being sold here for $2.49, but full-price on gog. WHY, Bethesda? Both are sold by the same group.

Because the game's having a weekend deal on Steam? 9.99 is the regular price on Steam as well.

Friends with Benedicts has Fallout

They do, because they own the rights to the whole franchise.

That doesn't explain it. It's only on sale as part of the steam sale because Bethesda decided to include it, so they should have made it on sale at gog as well. Normally when a publisher puts something on sale on steam, they do it at go as well, e.g. Batman & Deus Ex series, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Witcher.

And yet they didn't. So wait for a GOG sale if you want it on GOG.

No. I posted this thread so a Bethesda employee could give an official response.

You're not going to get one.
Get the game on here or wait for a sale on GOG. "Problem" solved.

Listen, children. Every game is sold and platformed individually. EA and Ubi and Sony and Bethesda and indies ALL option their games to Steam, or GOG, or Epic. They set terms, conditions, and limits like any other product. Just like the real world, some deals and platforms suck. and sometimes you hit 80% off winner winner chicken dinner.

Please at least take Econ 101 before you whinge about game pricing. Games have never been cheaper in real terms than today. In 1990, average AAA game price? $40. Average teen wage? $6.00. Today AAA titles go for $60, but teen wages have more than doubled since then.

I'm not saying the economy is good or fair, it's not. But the gaming industry is only a tiny part of the problem. And I wonder, how many people here that express butt-hurt about game pricing and policy, have put as much passion into a real world dilemma.

Didn't think so.

well cyberpunk and witcher are cd project games and cd project also owns gog so it makes sense they decide to put those games on sale on gog too, wouldn't want to encourage people to buy their game on an competitors store instead of their own.
other game publishers dont have that bias though.

That's why I also used DX as an example, and Batman. I'm sure that DX had the same sale on in both stores at the same time, and 60% positive for Batman.
