Watch On
At this time, October 23, is Fallout Day: The day {that a} nuclear alternate between the US and China scourged most of humanity from the face of the Earth. It is acceptable, then, that it is usually the day that Fallout: London, the full conversion mod that brings the horrors of post-nuclear existence to the British Isles, has formally surpassed the magic 1 million milestone.
“Fallout London has formally been redeemed over 1 million instances on GOG,” Staff Folon introduced, saying the mark “makes it one of many quickest and largest [releases] within the historical past of Good Outdated Video games.”
“From all of us right here on the Fallout London group, thanks. You have made this journey unforgettable. We’re blown away by your assist and we will not wait to share what’s subsequent. We’ll preserve calm and stick with it fixing these bugs and we’ll see you at our subsequent milestone.”
GOG commemorated the large quantity with a separate message of its personal. “Supporting such a artistic, bold fan challenge was an journey GOG determined to embark on—not solely out of our spirit of gamership, however to make sure that the wealthy, immersive worlds of video games like Fallout proceed to thrive,” it wrote. “At this time, we couldn’t be happier to see the success that Fallout: London has grow to be—reaching everything of 1 million homeowners on our platform, and reaching it on Fallout Day no much less. We might prefer to take this second to wholeheartedly congratulate Staff Folon on their groundbreaking document!”
It is not clear whether or not Fallout: London truly hit 1,000,000 redemptions right now on GOG, or if it occurred a day or three earlier and everybody determined to sit down on it till right now. Staff Folon stated it was shut to 1 million redemptions when the 1.02 patch went stay final week, in any case, and it is excellent timing certainly to hit such a notable quantity on such a noteworthy day.
However it’s additionally attainable that I am overly cynical about such issues, and in the long run it does not actually matter: It is a hell of an accomplishment, and when so many bold fan initiatives fail to even cross the end line, it is nice to see one doing so effectively.
If you have not but performed Fallout: London, now’s an excellent time to get into it. Fallout 4: Sport of the Yr Version (which you want for the mod) is 75% off on GOG proper now, as are all the opposite Fallout video games (together with the unfairly maligned Fallout Techniques) besides New Vegas, which for some cause (perhaps GOG is seeking to begin up the “not canon” beef once more) is 60% off.
