Comment on What happened to the creator of Gunman Chronicles, Valve's forgotten FPS? 'My relationship with Gabe didn't really go that great'

Good article, I just wish it would say why the game still isn’t available. I never played this game but went down a little rabbit hole looking for it and ET: Quake Wars and it’s insane the hoops you have to jump through to play these games that used to sell. I still hope to jump through those hoops one day and try it out.

Flower doesn’t know and the best guess is possibly what he said, a mess of rights across Valve and Vivendi (bought by Activision in 2008)

I'm unsure if you ever figured out how to play ETQW, but your comment inspired me to go find out for myself. In case you didn't, this discord looks to be the answer:

Instructions on how to download the game and connect to servers are provided.

  I watched some videos of it and it looked really dated and I lost interest haha. I bet having nostalgia for this is probably required.
