Well since it appears natural selection will be going under "My Games" in the near feature i was wondering how this is going to affect player levels.
Also i wonder if valve will make an "announcement" possibly in their weekly update or a special announcement when its done.
Was also wondering how that would change the way the game works.
Ex)
Now that its under my games new players would just right click on "natural selection" and choose "install game" and then it would download the assets from valve (assuming they have HL)? I understand the auto-update thing but what will happen when there's a big client release, will it download the big updates from steam like it is now?
Also if there is a popup announcement and its known wide and clear that NS is being added to My Games there will probably be a HUGE influx in players since that's instantaneous advertising to millions of people on steam.

they'll be in for a major shock after joining a 50 levels combat server and then going to an actual ns_ server
all that will happen is that people can install ns through steam rather than manually downloading and installing, including patches. there probably will be an announcement or people will start wondering why a game called "natural selection" suddenly popped out of nowhere on to the "my games" list.
i too am wondering how the influx of new players will affect ns
I hope all new players enjoy NS and hope to find people who will teach them how to play it properly in-game.
I sure will help whenever I can. Without my trademark sacrasm.

Oh, what, this isn't I&S? Oh...
Err...well, when NS comes to My Games, we're going to need to make the manual more newbfriendly. WAY more newbfriendly. Most newbs would look at the skulk, see a weapon do 70 damage and uninstall. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
