    Gamespot only reviews games for which you <i>can</i> pay for. NS has a blank in waiting for a retail release. Gamespot might provide some kind of screenshots or whatever, but are just for retail games.

    -fool-, you just made all sorts of philosophers roll over in their grave with that logic.

    thats the reason why i pointed it out. why would it have a page if there is no intention of it coming retail?

    It would appear that Gamespot are just trying to get ahead of everyone. If NS +does+ go retail, Gamespot can sit there and say "yeah, we had a page for this AGES ago".

    This is in no way a definate decision on NS going retail whatsoever. So if you believe that, sorry, for the time being it's false information.

    I would love NS to go retail. Its one of the best HL mods out there. Time to let the creators make some money.

    The reason the page is blank is that Gamespot's speechless. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's in the same way as EBGames puts release dates on games that don't even have an official release date.

    Hehe, EBGames is a little different. They do whatever helps sell games, while gamespot is much more geared to providing accurate info.

    There isn't really any reason for NS not to go retail, really. There are plenty of things stopping it in the short run, but unless Flay falls off the planet we'll probably see it at some point.

    *boggles* I'm sure that didn't come out right. Gamespot covers retail games because their users, they believe, are interested in retail games, and retail games rake in advertising and subscriptions and all that shiznitz... Not directly because it costs money or bandwidth, a far greater cost for a minor page addition is the human effort to gather the data for the game.
