Can confirm for both Gog and steam I have always had access to the original fallout which went missing off store fronts for a number of years

sadly about 60% of the games i have through steam do not function in "offline mode"

That might not be on steam but the way the game was made and even if it gotten thru piracy that it would still not work.
