GOG.com Drops Fallout Games

GOG.com announces that Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are no longer for sale on their DRM-free marketplace, apologetically, but vaguely citing "circumstances beyond [their] control." Here's the explanation of how this impacts people who have already purchased one or more of the seminal RPGs:
All those who acquired Fallout, Fallout 2, or Fallout Tactics on GOG.com prior to the date of removal (that is before Tuesday, December 31st 2013, at 3:59PM GMT), will still be able to download the games' install files (as well as the bonus content) via the "My Games" section of their user accounts. Gift-codes for these three games acquired in our recent giveaway are no longer valid. However, if you own a gift-code for any or all of them that was purchased outside of the said giveaway, you'll still be able to redeem it in the foreseeable future.

Fixed? what needs to be fixed? The GOG version was already fully compatible with modern OSes and hardware. Maybe by "fixed," they mean that they are removing the ability to kill children.

Sigh. He gives the answer literally five tweets down:

no. Have to remove interplay publisher stuff. Terms of service. Legal. That kind of thing.

To be fair, that reply tweet wasn't posted until 6 hours ago and wasn't there when Jerykk first linked to it.
