Sometimes I wonder what the ****ing point is to being a member at GSpot. I've had my account for 2 years now and other than the HD videos, there's nothing they offer that makes me think that my $20 are giving me access to things other people don't have acccess to.

Looks like this kotoko is part of a grassroots promotion effort by Ubisoft (see also his only other post here (http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=111762)). As a member of disciplesofsareth.com, he apparently earns "gold" (ie. points) for everyone who clicks those links. He can then use that "gold" to get prizes and other stuff. It's all explained quite nicely in the FAQ (http://www.disciplesofsareth.com/darkmessiah/faq.html) over there. Ubisoft is effectively making fans into cheap advertisers.

I wonder, what is hl2.net policy with regards to this kind of thing? If you think about it, it's not unlike the whole free ipod crap.

edits: Ah, it's being fixed.

Looks like it will be exclusive to gamespot "Total Access" subscribers, and only last for a couple of days.
