<div class="IPBDescription">i cant understand why</div> i dont understand why anyone in there right mind would make a game of this caliber and not charge money for it. not to say i dont like that its free but there is a major money making oppertunity here. i dont know about most of u but i would gladly pay to play this (a one time fee, not a monthly thing). im sure it cost the deveopers money not to mention time and effort, to make a great game. i mean, is it really reward enough to see that people enjoy your creation? im thinking there is just some vital piece of information that i dont know that would make me understand this. if u think u have the answer plz post a reply :o)

And they have mine.
What is better to say? I have a degree for X university in coding? OR Yes, I coded and helped develop a mod that was downloaded by thousands.
Believe me - This is a portfolio within itself.
Very good quote.
Wow, it must be a great feeling for Flayra, knowing that he's set for life <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
and now their dreams come true.... satisfiing people like himself... gamers!
Thanks flaya ur the best! now u have something awesome to put on your resume lol

...uh, no...
Anyone who could ignore the money making potentials of this game is a fool.
I'm sure Flayra (and Cory, Def, Mojo and the mappers, and who ever else I always forget.) will have no trouble finding work in the future.
If you'd like to contribute some money, visit the <a href='http://www.cafeshops.com/thensstore' target='_blank'>NS Store</a> and buy a thing or two.
You'll be giving money back to the Dev's, while getting something spiffy in return.
And they have mine.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Mine as well.
and I hate to draw a comparison once again to counter-strike but the coders of CS are now working for valve getting paid for there next release <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Plus my dads and programmer so I think I know a thing or two about programmers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> They don?t program for money or glory. They program because it?s something they love to do. Dad?s favorite pastime is to work on a program in the evenings. Some of us play games, others make them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Now its my turn! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
This game is going to look GREAT on their resumes. Even the mappers. Those maps are rock solid smooth, fast, HUGE, and detailed. Amazing work by EVERYONE that worked on this mod.
dammit is there another payment rather than credit card?
Gun Running never should have been taken out, just change the map more frequently! I don't play CS anymore knowing how easy it is to cheat.
and then get told we are lying ...
yay!

Umm, yes. If they sell the game without permission of Valve, it is a direct license infringement, and any copy they sell, they can doubly be sued for, so, it would not be wise to even consider this without the agreement of Valve, and in those agreements, Valve would get ownership of NS, so it wouldn't matter anyway.
You just aren't allowed to make money as a direct link of your product on any engine not licensed to you, in this case, the Half-Life engine. So, even if they wanted to, they couldn't make money, unless Valve suddenly thought that letting someone have money rather than them was a good business move.
Besides, just remember what happened to counter-strike when it went retail. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
The developers of NS have my respect.. and a portion of my wallet too if they really want it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yes, cafe press (the website that the NS store is set up with) also excepts checks and money orders. And also some pay pal thing you can sign up for. All the details are here.

In the realm of retail modification, developers can explore their creativity and do what they want to do. They're not bound by any boxes of pink slips.
Squeal,
Where did you and Flay meet ?
