Wow! I love it.

Great that they reached out and that you're doing the give away.

I got Fallout 3 and NV as soon as I saw the sale. The Steam version was very lacking. Glad to see them up there on GOG. :)

nordsavage, It's not quite the same version. The Steam version requires hacks to get running on Windows 10. The GOG version requires no such hacks and comes pre-patches for >2GB memory access.

can someone explain what the difference is between GOG and steam? what are the pros and cons of each?

GOG's library of games is entirely DRM free.

Good luck getting FO3 to run on any version of windows after vista on Steam. GOG's FO3 just runs!!!!!

I have confirmed that it run perfectly on a win 7 tower, win 8 tower and a win 10 laptop.

Im so happy.

Well then go and use Steam? If you have no interest in GOG or this giveaway, than don't bother with it.

So.... GOG is MUCH better.

Actually I beg to differ. I have had many problems with some GOG games which simply refuse to run. Their support is so bad that I have simply abandoned any hope of me ever playing them. If I see one i like on GOG then I purchase it, but there is a huge risk that it will not work. I have never had that issue with Steam.

Same here brother....same here!!

Congratulations to GOG and Steam for their fine cooperative effort.

As to pros and cons for GOG and Steam, I'm staying out of that discussion. I like both sites.

@Daynox. I know that many people have had and continue to have genuine problems trying to run Steam FO3. My guess is that a lot of the problem stems from differing hardware, software, and driver configurations.

However, I recently installed the Steam FO3 GOTY edition on my Win 10 Pro v1607 computer, and it ran "right out of the box." There were no problems whatever. I also have a second gaming computer with the same OS. Once again, the Steam version immediately launched with no problems.

Furthermore, several years ago I installed Steam FO3 on a computer with a Win 7 Pro SP1 OS. It as well installed seamlessly and ran without problems.

I love both clients:

GOG
Pros:
- Entirely DRM free
- Download of games can be done via client or via website
- Client is not necessary to run games
- "Connect": some videogames you bought on Steam can be added in your GoG account for free
Cons:
- The catalog does not have so much games but thankfully is growing day by day

STEAM
Pros:
- The catalog is very full of videogames
Cons:
- Games my have third party DRM too such Denuvo
- Client is necessary to download and play videogames
