Title: I don't think this should be here...

"Cuphead: Don't Deal With The Devil" is a very popular indie game that is most certainly not "free to play". It has a retail price of $19.99 wherever you look for it.
I see ads like this on YouTube with Cuphead, Minecraft, and Undertale. They take these smash hit indie games,
offer them for free, and if you're foolish enough to click on it the website it takes you to will give you malware.

I have to take a very hard stance on my favorite forum allowing malware ads on it.

Sorry, but there's nothing that can be done about which ads display. It's just part of a network.

Is it possible to take it up with the network?

I don't even know for sure what the network is. It's probably Google Adsense, but I'm not 100% sure. Andrew is the only one who could complain and he hasn't been hands-on in years. Sorry, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I get a lot of those ads: I just don't click on the things as this PC is a work PC and it is monitored.
