idk. The price better be low and cheap, what with no co-op or multiplayer and all.

Its special, but it takes a lot for me to buy a game. Especially a walkthrough game.

Eh not gonna get it, the playtime of the original was short, and i don't see a reason to pay for it just because it mainly consists of custom content which makes it look like the best-looking sourcemod out there.

Yeah, there's a pretty big difference between what makes a great mod and something that you expect people to pay for. I guess really it all depends on the price. If it's only five dollars I might pick it up, and if it's less than that I will for sure. But if they're going to try to charge $10, or even $20? As mentioned, the game is way too short and doesn't include any secondary features to justify that. Unless they added either a lot more to the length rather than it just being a straight-up reskin of the original I'm going to skip it.

Honestly I have to agree with some of the comments on MODDB. It was pretty tacky of them to sit there and reel in a ton of free publicity from people being under the assumption that it was free (Best Upcoming Mod?), and then months before release announcing it would be available "commercially".

I am definitely not going to get this mod. Simply because I thought it was going to be free and then they made that dick move. (Word of the day.)
