I dunno If this is dodgy or not, but i'm sure they shouldn't be advertising S3 yet!

google ads like that rarely make sense, dont take it too seriously

That ad's been on there forever. I thought it was funny, too. I actually took a screenshot of it as well a while ago, thinking about posting it here. But I decided not to

And lol at the "$20 per year"

haha , getting s3 right now , thank you google !

Rofl
I`m getting one too!

Nah, I'll wait until it's properly released by the devs for simply $24 rather than the $20 per year .

Quote from mrodgers :

$24

£24

google ads are random...stupid.
u could (just for a laugh) enter "slaves" in google and on the right side will prolly pop up something like "get cheap slaves now! only xx $!"
same with ebay, whenever u search something on google ebay seems to have it.

Quote from geeman1 :

£24

Psssst... The google add stated $20 / year, and LFS is 12 gbp per stage, which is approximately $24 .

wooohooo...anyone knows if google not only developed S3, but also added a mountain drift track, a city driving track, and a SUV with spinners?

And a mirror in chase view.

Is this dodgy?

Nah, this is. :hide:

i don't know

From what I understand visiting the site, this could be a download service offering more than 800 million games online... 800 millions?

Anyway you would probably end up with the demo version of LFS. I wouldn't say it's illegal if you pay for a (needless) download service, but both the advertisement and the homepage are dodgy since there's no significant additional info about the offer. You're left in the dark until you submit your email address (which, for the record, I won't do) .

Stay away.

Tough AI, real life tracks, over 150 cars, Quad core support. Definitely worth the 20 a year!

For the reference to S3, sure enough.

If it was S2, it would just be misleading from what I understand, not false. Whether misleading advertising is illegal or not varies from Country to Country.

Edit: for instance such advertising in Italy would be considered illegal because it's considered dolus malus and not dolus bonus: you can magnificate the qualities of your product, but you cannot do it with a malign intent. The intent of the advertiser is clearly to mislead, so it would considered malign.
