Warning about Download.com

The short version of those stories is that CNET's Download.com appears to be bundling installers with their downloads. Rather than directly downloading whatever it is you requested from the site, you are forced to download their software instead. This software installs what most would consider malware, or at the very least, adware.

We are aware that some of our offerings (the Half-Life patch series as an example) are posted on that site. As we do not want our brand to be associated with malware, nor do we want our users being infested with whatever the overlords of download.com feel is appropriate, we want to take down all downloads hosted at their site. Unfortunately, this is impossible, as we did not upload the files.

Therefore we would like to warn all of our users of the dangers of downloading from that site. All of our services are offered through other download sites. We have our own download site, which is the official way to download our projects. Wherever possible, avoid download.com.

Well, it's that time of year again. Presents and food have been the order of the day for us, and I'm sure many of you can agree that that has been the case for you too!

So on behalf of everyone at WON2 and the Steamless CS Project, we wish you a very merry Christmas, and (shortly) a happy new year!

Feels like yesterday it was Christmas '09. The years are flying past. I must be getting old.

6 year Anniversary of Steamless CS Project

Posted at Sun Jan 03, 2010 5:28 pm by Sl@y3D for my n@me
Yes, it's true. We are celebrating the 6th anniversary of the Steamless CS Project!

Started around December 2003 by Warf!y to cover the future of WON after Valve announced it's demise, starting as a solution to keep playing Counter-Strike 1.5, and has expanded over the years to become a network of thousands of players, comprising several different Half-Life mods. And after 6 years, we are still going strong!

Considering 6 years is a hell of a long time to be around, we will certainly be celebrating in style! A party is planned for the spring (no, really this time! :P ) and a number of projects are planned for this new year. Watch this space to find out what we have been cooking up. Continue watching this space to find out when the party is.

Since you're here, I'll let you in on a secret. One such project that is currently being developed is the PlanetWON2 Link. If you have been in the blog section lately you might find that name familiar. It's an application designed to download and update mods, get news, download patches, and much more. Well, that's as much as I'll reveal for now. You'll just have to wait for the grand release, coming soon. ;)

So, happy birthday to the Steamless CS Project, continuing to cover the future of WON 6 years later! Oh, doesn't it make you feel old? :P
