When you submit a game to be reviewed, what happens if the .zip isn't uploaded to the website?
Let's just use this as an example:
I submitted a game: Turnout = Changes Requested
Status : Changes were made, time for a new review
Now what happens if I submit it. Can I avoid submitting the .zip to the hub?

The game needs to be playable for free; both so that we can review it and because it's hub policy. (You are free to charge for extra features, of course, unless it's a fan game.)
In other words, it needs to be (a) downloadable for free or (b) playable on someone else's server for free. | |

I'm not a reviewer, I'm just guessing... Having access to the game does help review it, but isn't the purpose of the policy. We don't want a hub filled with games you can't actually play. Everything on the hub should provide some kind of free experience; it's fine if the game creator wants to charge for access to portions or features of the game. | |
As long as they can play the game then they can review it. If you upload it to the hub or to some other webspace (which I believe would override the hub's zip package anyway) then they could review it. They do not accept games that are subscription-only because they cannot access them without paying, so I'd imagine this would work in the same manner.
