Fallout 3 on PC

Just out of curiosity will Bethesda Game Studios patch out Games for Windows Live (GFWL) on the PC version of Fallout 3? Microsoft is shutting down (GFWL) and the store by August 22nd.

If Bethesda Game Studios does this for the PC version of Fallout 3 both Steam version and physical boxed version I will be happy and purchase Fallout 3 off of Steam I have 3 physical boxes of Fallout 3 all editions.

Bethesda Game Studios please don't let Fallout 3 on PC die :/.

Other video game development companies are getting rid of (GFWL) and SecuROM in a patch.

Here they are.

There's no reason why Fallout 3 needs to die simply because GFWL is being phased out. All you need is a standalone installer stored on your hard drive somewhere of the current version. It would be the same as storing a standalone patch for some game you own. The game only needs to have the client installed on your system, there's no need to actually log in to GFWL at all. In fact, if you are using FOSE, you're completely bypassing it already.

Someone said on the NeoGaf forums that once (GFWL) is gone it's going to cause a whole bunch of bugs for the video games on PC that use it. I know FOSE bypasses (GFWL) but right now I am not using FOSE on Fallout 3 at all I am playing a completely unmodded playthrough. Microsoft didn't even address the consequences that will happen once they shut it down for good on August 22nd. So it would be nice for Bethesda Game Studios to patch out (GFWL) in a patch. At least Bethesda Game Studios can do this for us PC gamers as a special little treat.
