• Yoyo game links banned

    by

    Alright I'm done with Yoyo Games. I thought they screened their stuff... but I guess not.

    Yoyo games, or any other plugin requiring game site is now banned, so don't send them.

    DA/newgrounds/other sites that don't require a download are perfectly fine.

    I apologize to everyone that was exposed to the Luna.  The person that made it says he/she sent it to someone else to get some feedback and she/he got that back.

      When you start it off. It seems like a pretty solid game. You're just Luna jumping around and stuff. But then, you get to a certain point. You become flashed with a really creepy picture of applebloom with some really creepy noises. You can't close out of it either. I had to do an emergency shut off on my computer to get out of it.

      To anyone who wants to see what it was like, don't even bother. Just don't. At first it was just a simple side-scroller where one moves Luna across a world covered in boxes. Then, after a set amount of time, it would stop being so nice. It would stop being so simple. Either an image of a creepy, murderous Applebloom would pop up (with accompanying creepy music) or a "ZALGO-fied" Pinkie Pie would appear, along with the music, but would fill up your desktop with that same image and countless text files that read "the end is neigh" if you couldn't close it fast enough. Nothing more interesting than that.

      a) Programs like this are commonly called "trojans" or "trojan horses" because you have to actively drag them inside your city walls i.e. run them on your computer, they can't spread like a virus. I would then liken them to prions, which behave the same way in real life, as they are proteins which must be ingested and expressed by a cell to do damage.

      b) THIS is why I didn't download anything from YoYo. I have a STRONG distrust for anything that SHOULD be just run from within a browser "corral" like Flash, such as a simple pony game, but requires you to download a plugin. I don't want anything like that that can affect actual files on my computer (beyond what Flash allows a game to save by default, which can't go outside its little sandbox).

      1. You don't need the plugin to play the games.

      2. The games on YoYo are created with Game Maker, which is actually quite powerful. Therefore, it can do simple things any C-Program can do, too: Delete files, change registry keys.


      => Banning the site is a bit harsh, but I agree that Yoyo does not check their games much.
      On the other hand however, it's the same risk that is involved with any other kind of executable.

      I'm guessing you just need a new screener (or ten) before posting those games instead of banning these things automatically (There have been some really great fan games that required more than what the browser currently offers). But then it might take at best a day before any new game is uploaded online.

      Or just ban executables all together to prevent total destruction while browser-based games can still call home and do the same kind of damage.

      So does this mean I can't post my fan game anymore?

      It's not a screamer... But my game, it's fun!

      hi I'm just wondering is the creepypasta really as much of a problem for people as is being says in this post's comments? Because equestriagaming paints an entirely different and positive picture.

      I mean I dont like that you can't quit and it hides your mouse. But you gotta admit a lot of people like this game.


      Also, does this mean that Luna game was made in Game Maker?
      :)

      my apologies, I didnt want to post with my old account with such a stupid partisan name. I can't figure out how to unlink it. This is Dialga-Brite, in case anyone knows me. :)

      This faggot Shaun Scotellaro banned downloadable games, because of a fucking program that just copies some files on your desktop?
      You are the biggest pussy asshole in the world. I hope you die in your sleep and in hell with a fucking Luna tulpa cutting your cutting your balls every night, Seth. You fucking autistic retard.
