After working with VALVe software, the NS Team can now announce that Natural Selection will be available on Steam! VALVe's Steam will allow easy and automatic updates for players with fast connections. For Steam-users, downloading patches, maps and new content will be a thing of the past.

It is important to note that Natural Selection will always be available in non-Steam form. Players will never have to pay for NS to play.

The Steam beta is publically available, and is currently allowing players to try Half-life, Day of Defeat, Counter-strike for free. Natural Selection is not available yet, but when it is, it will show up in Steam and you'll be able to play without even installing it.

The NS Team is excited about new gaming experiences possible with Steam technology, especially in creating a world that is constantly updated and network-aware...<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

OK, that was awhile ago, but did I miss something? I downloaded steam on this computer (on which neither half life or counter-strike are installed) and NS isn't on the list...

With that said, it brings up the question of, "Will NS ever be available for download off steam?" It would add tons of players and make patches, etc. easier to update.

Sorry if I missed something obvious, its 1:00 AM, give me a break...

    Valve has been tearing their hair out over all sorts of Steam issues (not to mention their other projects, like HL 2, CS:CZ, and the ever elusive TF2), so they probably haven't had time to pursue getting NS to work. Have patience. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
