Im looking at reviews of doom 3 then i noticed the sponsered links
on the right side they're advertising downloading the game from suprnova. :huh:

suprnova.com is a scam site

Haha, sucks for id, it was up on August 1st on the "real" suprnova (no link provided). It's a great game, by the way! If you want it, buy it! (You need a mid-range to high level PC to fully enjoy it, however.)

@Passive
Its still a sponsered link.

@sethmcdoogle
I'm looking at the reviews to buy it.

Anyway I thought it was interesting and wanted to share what I saw.

Dude Id should do something about that, especially if they're advertising on Google.

Agreed, let's all email id/Activision and tell on them!

(I'm still quite pissed at Activision, I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein from BestBuy and installed it, then I can't play online because it says my key is already in use. Tried emailing them, etc etc etc, they never respond... but anyhow)

Yeah know such thinks... the only way is to telephone the hotline I think (and pay much money for it) or get a new serial...
It's very sad to see such service!

Further Bit Torrent goodness

A friend alerted me to this. I can't confirm it's authenticity.

*chuckle* Yeah, the real Suprnova even mentions that the .com and .net sites are scams.

Regardless, Google could find themselves in interesting waters for letting an ad for any bittorrent site get through, as they are likely to get targetted by the RIAA and such before long.

Its an authentic pre-order.

Eagle, I believe he was referring to the SuprNova.com ad in the "Sponsored Links"

 

[mezkal]

No I was reffering to the screenshot. Anything can be faked.

SuprNova.com is a scam site, where as the actual SuprNova is you-know where, and NOT a paysite. But "SuprNova.com" contains no files at all, only links to other sites that are free
