Haha. Its only a matter of time before they settle it with a bar room brawl.

Simply put, Google is springing results that users do not want.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

Just tried it: negative.

Call of Duty ads for Black Ops, Medal of Honor ads for Medal of Honor.

Hear hear.

Just tried it: negative.

Call of Duty ads for Black Ops, Medal of Honor ads for Medal of Honor.

Same here, i'm not getting it.

 

[Javex]

That's cool. I'm not gonna buy Black Ops, anyway. But this kinda stuff is good for gamers. More competition will in turn create better games!

Speaking of MoH, when can we expect the Escapist review?

Nope, MOH bought the term Black ops and vice versa. Read return sponsored links. Google has done nothing here.

They're sponsor links. It's not like they're screwing with the actual results.

My best guess would be Tuesday.

You guys have Firefox + ? I do and I got the same result.

We shouldn't talk about the firefox add-on. Edit that out.

 

[Tharticus]

If you people were quoting me about sponsored links, I was being sarcastic.

 

[Painful illusion]

I don't think this is working. Just tried it and didnt see it.

 

[C95J]

first, it's google ads, next it will be hitmen and ninja's!

I'm pretty sure it's fine as long as he isn't talking about blocking the Escapist's ads.

Although he should still probably put in a little disclaimer that he disables it for the Escapist.

hahaha XD

thats great. Nothing like ads for your competitors game when ppl search for your game \o/

EA/Activision FIGHTING! (w/ korean accent)

Some companies think this kind of thing is enough cause for some legal action. Marks and Spencer (British supermarket/dept-store chain) are getting sued atm for it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11531677
