[Scummvm-devel] I removed DotEmu affiliation links

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi Team,

I just fixed the gog.com links, as they recently overhauled their whole
website structure and were lazy enough to implements redirects for old
structure, and as a result they broke whole affiliation program.

While doing that I finally came down to removing all affiliation links for
DotEmu. As perhaps some of you know, those links do not worth our website
space unfortunately. During 2 years while those links were up we got
nothing from the program and I mean that. At the same time gog.com is very
generous and successful. The primary reason for the difference is that
DotEmu requires every game to be bought via affiliation links, when GOG.com
counts in every user which comes through those.

Thus besides being all fine with us especially in terms of GPL, giving life
to old games and making them available again, GOG.com manages to gracefully
give thanks back to our project, so at least our hosting expenses are
covered.
