i agree with dosraider

totally out of context:
why is it that some games are downloadable when the page is set to english, but go all "no 90(!)" when trying to load them using the german setting?

ex:
http://abandonia.com/en/games/191/He...and+Magic.html
http://abandonia.com/de/games/13004/...and+Magic.html
(also notice the different number in the url)

Cause german is typical for restrictions...

Think above is the best solution

Why is there a 'no download' for this game.
:laugh:

In fact, I'm pretty sure of it.



.... No, I'm sure of that.

Or even better put the download button back and when it is clicked on an explanation similar to what david86 suggested should be displayed... Only bigger M U C H B I G G E R

the point is that there is no relation between
no 90! and ESA

But if you write no download or not downloadable or anything more clear people can just relate that with the ESA icon, and that this means something else and it is protected, or just illegal to download for free.
People will make the realtion between protected and not downloadable...i hope so...

Probably descended from the people who used to ask, "Who is General Failure Error, and why is he reading my hard disk?"

Sorry, used to be my favourite joke

But yes, if people read the forums before they asked about ESA, they wouldn't keep posting silly questions and getting shouted at by the Fifth Horseman... :laugh: Poor Horseman, driven mad by nitwits. :amused:

[_r.u.s.s.]

actually, if the "no go" icon linked to a short article explaining that some company still holds the copyrights (global article, not separate per game), then we probably wouldn't have any

but i'm against it, i like seeng fun with newbies :P

Been there, done that, didn't help one jot. Some idiots actually started referring to it as "the ESA error".
