I remember seeing it on the store shelf. Flipped it over and saw it looked like so many of the other FPS out at the time. Its reviews and place in history seem about right even if people are having nostalgia boners over it.
What happened to the creator of Gunman Chronicles, Valve's forgotten FPS? 'My relationship with Gabe didn't really go that great'

Never heard of this game before and man, what a shitty situation the Rewolf team ended up in.

This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.

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:

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.
