Now guess how many games I have purchased from DRM free GOG. Dozens.
In the end, I guess it does not matter, the writing was on the wall as soon as everyone piled on to Steam.

Hey Bethesda, guess how many games I own from UPlay or Origin? One - Dragon Age 3. I have a few more there that I obtained free with the purchase of my video cards.Bethesda.net isn't just a website--it's also the company's brand new games launcher, and it could be a new DRM gateway for the publisher's future PC games. It looks as if the Elder Scrolls and Fallout developer might be following in the footsteps of EA's Origin and Ubisoft's uPlay with Bethesda.net, and we might see the publisher make its games exclusive to its first-party launcher/storefront catalog.

This article seems more definitive on the subject.Bethesda has ultimately decided against having its games grace digital distribution platforms from rival companies and instead enjoy closure through its very own game launcher. Called Bethesda.net (much like Activision Blizzard Inc.'s Battle.net), the launcher is currently undergoing closed alpha proceedings.
