Okay, I'll watch that. Long as he doesn't bend over or anything. :weird:

We (ie Horseman) should really remove the "Download" part of the title bar of ESA-protected games. Or say, "Download X - not for download". Which is an idiocy worthy of Microsoft, I must say.

And if they click on the ESA logo, have a disclaimer. (With a link to the ESA nuking comic). And a big sign at the end of said disclaimer saying YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT HERE. TRY GOOGLE. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND. :laugh:

Big sign should be on top - none reads to the bottom ... or do you ??

It's the same letter font they used, but none ever asks what the '9et' stands for, seems as when they can download there isn't a problem to understand it.

No pun intended, just a thought.........

Hi, just want to add my comment.

I also read this as no 90.

I have been playing around with computers since 81 and seen more fonts than I care to remember.

Why did I not realize it was no go?

Because this was my first visit to this site and the first game I looked at so I had no previous experience where the download button should be. The icon does not look like a regular download button, more like som age recommendation mark.

I read no, not as no in not, but no in number: Number 90.

I figured this as some kind of categorization.

I even looked in the forum but did not find any heading that looked related so I asked google and found this thread.

I have puzzled together what it means but I have still not found a link to this esa or any page clearly explaining that this means.

My tip is to clarify the icon to read No download, ESA protected game.

Then make it a link to a page that clearly explains what ESA is and why you don't offer download.

Basic usability will not solve all cases but some.

For the rest of us first time visitors it would save a lot of time and irritation. Instead of spending 5 minutes trying to find out why I don't have a download button I could go look for another game that does.

I would probably not have stayed on the site had I not looked up another game and found a download button.

Read the goddamn FAQ! <- Even the (mean) forum knows the link.

*Looking into my HD
I have those new icons I made somewhere...

I've just checked... The old "NO 90" icon is still there...

Any update? This need to be fixed ASAP...

A new icon can be whipped up in 5 minutes. Replacing the current one is the problem.

i still like having fun with newbies:P
