What this game has, and who said so
Nobody has established any monetisation or retention mechanic for Fallout 1st— not the publisher, not a rating board, not players, and not Sifter’s own reading of the store page. That is an absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
Not shown
Nothing in the store listing named these, and nobody has checked by hand. Sifter has not been shown them — which is not the same as showing they are absent.
How the facts are weighted
EstimatedNo flagged mechanics — clean monetisation and design.
Points reflect severity, not just presence — cosmetic-only purchases score far lower than pay-for-power. The weights, and the regulator actions and studies behind each one, are published on the provenance page.
This game was scored from its Steam store listing, so its mechanics are an estimate.

Ownership
This game is yours to keep
- Plays offline — no server dependency, so it can't be switched off remotely.
- Installing the Steam release takes a Steam account. Steam doesn't publish whether this title is otherwise DRM-free, so we can't confirm it runs standalone.
This describes the Steam release only — editions of the same game sold on other stores come with those stores' own terms.
Whether you keep what you paid for is its own question, separate from the score. How Sifter measures games →
