We are working on that..

Wake[of]theBunT:
The biggest issue against seeking permission is there is NO definitive company that holds rights to goldeneye007 except nintendo and rare.

The best chance of remaining under the radar is those comapnies likely wont call for C&D. Nintendo dont really have grounds since they are at this point only a distribution right holder over goldeneye the game solely on their platform and Rare is under Microsoft and so M$ wouldnt/couldnt back a legal action by their subsidiary.

On other fronts, danjaq owns james bond liscencing but they are in movies so I doubt they would seek us. And activision only grounds would be conflict of interest with future JB titles they make (unlikely motivation since they arent remaking past intellectual properties onto the PC, so there is not actual conflict)

And yes, the steam store will never happen because of the issues listed here, which is even if available for free, distribution platforms will not risk making our mod available. Companies are more likely to sue other companies who use IP in unethical manners.

In some aspects we dont wish to go through the processes to become available. We want to provide for ourselves a good system for our fans to gain similar benefits without being a slave to someone elses conditions.

I wish an FAQ could be relied upon to negate the questions arising. But history tells me folks dont read them and just sign up and make a thread even ignoring "search" so my viewpoint is whatever :P

I wouldn't want to be on steamworks anyway. Apparently you can't post updates unless they are approved by Valve which bottlenecks your time line. Independence is the name of the game.

We have implemented an update notifier in v4.1 that will pop up a little window telling you of an update when you start the game. Unfortunately, to remain unobtrusive to your system, we will never have the ability to tell you of an update when you are NOT in the game. Although, if you sign up for our steam groups we always announce new releases through the messaging system on the group.

huh, i had no idea there was so much red tape.
it's funny how when people think copyright infringement, they think piracy and theft. but in this case, it's just a mod of a game that just happens to be another game. you guys made the mod so you're not actually stealing anything, you're actually giving.

to be clear, i wasn't complaining about your mod or your methods of updating. on the contrary, i LOVE your mod. it was the very first HL2 mod that i found and it's of my favorite N64 game ever. honestly, i wish i knew a thing or two about modding so that i could help you out. i was just curious because i see tons of mods on moddb, but only 1/3 of those are actually listed in steam.

Wake[of]theBunT:
I would agree, if post 4.1 you don't load up the game every day/week/month, keeping an eye on us about our updates is as easy as two simple things!

1."watching" us on moddb.com
2. Becoming a member of our public steam group.

Here are the links to both of these functions. In all honestly, if you are any kind of fan and think of yourself as a supporter of our free-made product, you SHOULD be doing both these small and mutually beneficial things already!!
