My Question

To whomever may answer this,

From my understanding, once a game has an approved hub and all it can create a standalone installer (providing that is also approved and access is given, but I believe that is just because it is not fully released yet?).

But what if there is a request for a standalone version of something like SS13 that has a large 'outside of BYOND' community (mostly /vg/). How would that game possibly get a standalone (implying the original developers are no longer around).

Does it just sit around and deal with people having to use the hub?

Kaiochao	The standalone doesn't need any more than hub listing to gain access to, but only the hub owner can activate and retrieve the key at the moment.

EnigmaticGallivanter	Well okay then, that sounds better. Still leaves out some older games for now, but still fine and well.
