So what is this? Welp, we are less than a month away from Fallout 4. And while people are getting ready to feel the feels that we have been waiting for since Fallout 3.
Most people are wondering, and some people on here might be too were wondering. "Will the REST of the Fallout games be on sale?"
I mean think about it: You buy Fallout 4. And get the rest of the series at sale price. And therefore you won't have to wait for Winter sale, Quake Con, or Summer Sale. You will have all the Fallout to your desire...and feels. and mods. But mostly feels.
What are your thoughts GUN?

I wouldn't be surprised. Bethesda's going to make a pretty penny off Fallout 4, and putting the others on sale might bring more players to the Fallout community, which only makes Bethesda more money. It's genius.
... With that being said, I don't actually know anything about finances, so I don't even know if that's a solid business plan. \[ T]/

Plus if i recall correctly the other Elder Scroll games went on sale when Skyrim was launched. The opportunity is there and hopefully they can pounce on that.
You can call it 'dirty business' in a way that you are cashing in on the other Fallout games, but either way it's a win-win situation for both Valve and Bethesda. Not just Valve but sites like Humble Bundle or GoG for example that offers bundle packs that include Fallout games or just the Fallout games in general.

Probably, Steam's included Fallout 3, New Vegas, and the older games by Interplay in bundles many a time..

Well they should already be doing this anyway, or atleast in the coming days, to capitalize on the Fallout 4 hype and then get triple the profits. I mean....Todd just wants that dosh.

I have no doubt that they'll put the older games on sale. Fallout 4 has been hyped into orbit so Bethesda knows they'll make a lot of cash off of it, and I see no repercussions for putting the rest on sale if anything it just attracts new people to the Fallout franchise. Imagine you were someone who has never played any Fallout game, and one day you hop onto steam and see "Fallout Franchise Sale!!" you look see ALL of the games on sale and it's like "Eh lets see what its like.". Boom Bethesda just got another Fallout Fan another Fallout 4 player and more dosh.

I believe it will be a Fallout or Bethesda sale, it only makes cents no typo lol
I mean a new release is to generate money and if you can't meet specs or you've never played a fallout game and you don't want to "waste" 60 dollars on fallout 4 with all it's Bean Town glory you may just shell out 5-15 for the other fallout games and see if you truly enjoy them, which most people will.
They do contain a little something for everybody especially once you start adding mods to the mix. Which we all know make a world of difference.
