Natural-Selection: Source WILL COST MONEY!

well, even IF he told us that he wont sell via steam i think valve won't make it possible.

it uses a lot of ressources from steam (implementing, broadcasting, codes, ...) so valve also knows that the ns community isn't small, they smell money.

that's why i think valve told him that IF he wants to have ns:s THEN he would have to use their platform (and could get the needed data from valve)

Well , I did love NS (I am a constie , paying $20 US for the silly icon , lol)
But seeing Flayra haven't get the official website fixed for like almost two years, I am kinda disappointing

For RTS + FPS style game , BF2 copied it quite well (Except the commander , still not able to build stuff , but good enough to drop supply boxes and UAV ...)

Just like DoD -> DoD:Source , once they asked for people to pay for it
the player bases goes smaller (Source Engine quite a system hog .....especially with HDR effect enable , my 6800GS lags like hell in DoD:Source . Even I bought it retail DoD:Source , I don't find it fun to play as it LAG likes hell running on my PC , I am running with "Auto Detect" setting , HDR Enable , I MUST turn off HDR effect and set everything to LOW @ 1024 x 768 to get > 30 fps running on my comp , A64 3500+ 2GB RAM and A 6800GS can't handle it wtf? )

If Flayra wants to release NS:Source , they better make sure not charging it a lot ( Likewise DoD:Source , there are servers but NO Player ......) and hopefully the game itself is not demanding as hell .....

What happend to you Unsichtbar? How can you not like NS after all this time on the server?? It's like living in China and not liking rise :P (No offence imamage)

I can understand not liking all the kiddies, but the game? comeon man....I'm sure you do....deep inside :P

Well , I guess he's pissed off for Flayra fooling us for NS:Source to be free (in the beginning , before the site goes down ) and now he will charge player for NS:Source .....means he LIED ( Well I understand he got to live , but come on get a job , I am sure with his talent he can get a good in the game industry)

who cares about ns source? i mean this game is far away from any release date and no one knows if ns source will ever comes out. it is only another newspost on ns.org so who belives in news form a website that was hacked 2 years ago and is still down (in this time with my limited php skill i can write 3 websites from scratch)? in 1 or 2 years we will read that the project is deleyed after half-life 3 released. so realy no one should care about this game anymore until you can download it.

Anyone know the costs (expected) for making a game such as NS?
I sure don't, but charging 20$ for it (wich isn't much)...you should be able to cover that cost with a job I agree about that Maybe he has other bills to pay?
Still, with his skills he should be able to get a fairly well payed job....

Witch skills do you exactly mean? Ahh i see ... the skill beeing a professional website builder ... no wait .... the skill producing prof. models? Ahhm no the model are all done by another guy. The music and sounds skill? Ahhm no wait thats was also done by another guy. It must be the mapping skill? Hmmm no the maps are all done by serval other guys. Ahh now i got it, the c programmer skills? Maybe but the code seems not to be so professional. Ok finaly i got it now! It is the game desiner skill? Yes it must be the game designer skill you are talking about. The bad thing is that the hole game industy only have a few verry well skilled game designers and it could be verry hard to get a job in a project as a game designer. But well maybe he is lucky

its a fact that he spent time on NS, so why not pay for it
and 20$ are not that much ...
if he'd give us ns:s for free, we should call him mother theresa in future

Its a GAME...
not an extend of your life...

why should i "thank" him?!

for making the GAME you play?
