GameFront is closing down


(Mateos) #1

Just stumbled about that news item:

I believe there’s also a lot of RtCW and ET stuff hosted there, could be a good thing to grab and backup them, perhaps WolfFiles?

Gamefront has returned! Check my website for more information: http://goo.gl/a6IfKA

That is not official return of the gamefront, but rather a clone, that completely utilizes the assets, logo and texts in completely unmodified way, run by Eugeny to keep gettin sum $ from donations. That doesn’t seem right or even legal thing to do imo.

prolly not ethical
have a couple stars

Really? I didn’t know this information. Can you post the source here? I didn’t see anything different on the website other than the newly added donations section.


(Nail) #6

first clue would be no mention on Mod DB

First of all he uses webmoney for gathering donations, quite spread method of transferring money in web in Russia (paypal alternative). I presume actual developers wouldn’t use it as the only way to donate, as they would instead go with paypal or direct paying methods through bank account transfers.
Secondly, you could just query domain name using one of many whois services out in the net, e.g. https://who.is/whois/gamefront.online
Third, website layout doesn’t seem to work properly in some places you can see that several modules ain’t loaded correctly (like $sidebar$ you can see on the right side of the layout), and some image resources don’t load either.

So in the end we may say you are spreading incorrect information on your website, confusing all your visitors, and promoting clone as a real website, i would remove the article.

Thanks for the information. I’ll see what I can do. :slight_smile:

at the best it’s quite unethical, but likely also quite illegal, I wouldn’t associate myself with it if I was you

you could always ask any of these people, they would know or like to

You’re welcome. The Gamefront logo and other content have been removed as well as the donations section.

AAGYAH! Do I get all the Wolfenstein related downloads before it ceased operation under Defy Media’s belt r downloadable and unchanged on the new server owners run the filesystem?

Ever before closure GameFront was among stops for series’ stuffs, while WolfFiles was developing its status. Sad for WolfMap,de not storing the thousand files it hosted on a mirror server…:armadillochase:
