It can't be bad "business" because they aren't making the game for money. Definitely childish though.
> It can't be bad "business" because they aren't making the game for money. It’s bad for their image and so for any business they may work on now or in the future.

#173Never thought is say it but uhm... the world needs more goatse apparently OP you should follow this up by reporting all the said websites to google.
Google won’t fix this, they actively profit from the theft sites because Google is the one selling the ads on those pages. Break them up.

#174Ah, I had a similar idea. There were too many bots or vulnerability scanners hitting /wp-admin.php on my blog. It was flooding my access logs with 404s because I don't rock wordpress. Irksome stuff. So I threw up a little 'surprise' for the ahem penetration testers ahem , if you feel brave: https://www.thran.uk/wp-login.php
There are moments I'm about to deploy something similar and by now what's stopping me are laziness and other higher priorities. I'm staring at these aggravating items in server log and maybe someday.

#176I would argue showing nonconsentual explicit imagery is worse than iframing someomes app. Just show a non nsfw troll meme or block it outright.

#177I run three word games, this stuff happens for all of them. It sucks but I would never do what they did, it's abusive to the people who just googled your game and ended up on the wrong site. I've had teachers and students reach out to me to say they play my game in class every day together.

In college my friend came over for a LAN party and when he went to the bathroom I quietly set his background to Goatse… I got quite the chuckle at 3am when he went to shut down his computer after a long night of gaming. Ah to be young again.
Wasn’t it more like 3 hours to setup and get the network functioning, and hour of gaming?

You feel fine, but you don’t know what effect it can have on others. This is a selection bias. By definition, all the survivors of the most atrocious things can say "I went through XYZ and I’m still alive". That doesn’t make this XYZ something you would recommend to anyone.
If seeing a mans butthole causes you serious psychological trauma, you probably have bigger problems to worry about than seeing a mans butthole. Everyone has a butthole. Do kids never look in the mirror? Do kids never explore bodies? We spent 100k years or more looking at each other in the nude and somehow our species didn't all go insane. Nakedness probably doesn't hurt anyone.

I saw it the first time as a kid. My friends and I tried to trick each other to see it too. I'm fine. We're fine.
