Firefox 3 Users Experiencing Problems with Our Trymedia Downloads

UPDATE: September 9, 2009 - Google Safe Browsing technology in Firefox and Google Chrome browsers is no longer blocking Trymedia downloads.  The initial warning page looks to have been a "false positive", meaning the Trymedia downloads were being incorrectly associated with harmful software.  The problem has been rectified by Google and the warning page no longer comes up before downloading.

Firefox version 3 users are experiencing a warning message when trying to download some of our Trymedia (owned by Real Networks) games.

Explaining “Free” More Clearly

Hi Everyone,

Occassionally we get an email or comment from our users wanting clarification on what is free on our site and what is not. 

Since I launched the site in 2002, I was aware of the possibility that users could feel cheated by seeing our site name "Download Free Games" but then going to a game page and only finding a free trial.

But in an effort to make it easier to understand the types of games we offer at DFG, we launched the following improvements today:

Games that are so cheap it shouldn't be allowed!

On March 5 we launched a new section called Games Under $10 where we feature every game on this site that is in fact - the whole truth and nothing but the truth - under $10 bucks.

In light of worldwide economic concerns, many game developers and publishers are lowering prices to see if it results in an increase in sales.  We decided to do the same.

Many full versions are $9.99. Some are $6.99. That shouldn't be legal - but it is.

This is what you need to know:
