NotreDame89 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Hi all: thought the powers that be might want to do something about this on E-Bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1946559014 My apologies if this is old news.

rleete Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Why is it piracy? Someone bought it, and is now selling it. Only one available. Maybe they didn't like it. It is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletRat Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I dunno about the rest of you guys but I burn a backup and use that to play off - keep the original in mint condition. (Just something I do with all me games.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Wow the bid is up to 2.76 after 5 bids... Aren't pirated software items pretty common coming from "the Orient" (if I can use that phrase)... Guess he won't get rich off of it, anyway.... Doesn't say anything about a manual, though, does it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaka Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 The same guy is selling 12 other games... must be some sort of backyard Christmas sales Making profit of others work, is a total rip-off... :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 you know BFC has Made it when pirated versions are being sold in ebay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Also, it's rated E for Everyone. How could a game like this get an E rating? I realize there is no blood, but there is still lots of death and destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murpes Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Originally posted by laxx: you know BFC has Made it when pirated versions are being sold in ebay...Then I guess I should be glad that he's also selling Arx Fatalis - made by Arkane Studios. Arkane and BFC could maybe have a basketball game together, without any subs. They do have a publisher tho (JoWood). Truth be known, the artwork on the copy he's selling actually looks a little better than the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluggo Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I don't know if it's piracy but I do know this is the second one this person has sold. They had the exact same item up for bid which ended mid last week. Then one day later the same item is up for bid again. BTW, it sold for around $30.

Mace Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 btw, ebay have a webpage available to post a report on an item that is questionable here.

kmead Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I sent the following info to Ebay: This looks to be a pirated copy as the artwork shown is not correct. Nor is the E rating from the real game. This game is available from the original publisher, Battlefront.com and their European distributor CDV. CDV sells only in Europe under BFC's agreement. All other sales which would include Thailand would have been mailorder only from BFC. BFC's artwork is not what is shown on the CD depicted in the sale. Hope that helps.

(Just something I do with all me games.)Ditto that. I've been doing that since the C-64 days on 5 1/4"s. Now I burn two copies for myself, and sell the originals on e-Bay to get as much $$$ back as possible. I just pad the shipping costs to cover the cost of buying the game at EB or wherever. As for piracy, hey, it's only illegal if you get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRUMLIN Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Yes - Hope sunflower gets twatted round the head. I only sell games on Ebay when I have finished playing with them and know I wont be using them again. (I.e. CMBO and CMBB are not gonna be sold by me for 3-5 years..). Twats who claim that piracy is not theft are exactly the sort of student wankers who think that all property is theft - until you start taking THEIR stuff. Sunflower, can I have your home address? We would like to burgle your pc and hifi... G :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
