Link in readme leads to malicious website #20

The website of one of the games listed as heavy inspiration no longer contains the game.

When I clicked on the link for guessthiscode.com I was instead taken to a website that confirmed that I was human (twice) and then opened a new tab, one of those "your pc is in danger, click here to not get a virus".

My browser history shows a website of Avira antivirus (avira.com/de/campaigns/..., when I revisited it, it was just a regular offer, so I am not sure what exactly happened and how or why it was opened), one pretending to be Avira Antivirus and third one.

You might want to just discontinue the link and state the website is no longer active.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll do that when I get a chance.
