You misunderstood Leon... they actually removed the message (as the link wasn't really broken). And I suppose the point of the message is also to let the people know the game is not downloadable. I must admit that I agree this is almost useless and, worse even, it discourages people to even try... in my case, in the last two years there likely have been at least some people who didn't even try to download, having seen the message...
But, now that is rated just 2 cups, they'll be discouraged even more, I fear

Well, still one cup more than my other game!

I find the rating thing quite nice, by the way, and I'm sure the members chosen are experienced players. Maybe I'd just encourage a more friendly way of reporting errors and change the "broken link" message in something like "The game has yet to be rated, or the staff couldn't download the game" with indications as how to contact the staff.
My case is closed, anyway.
Thanks again Leon.
