Before you go blaming this guy, you must be 100% certain it is pirated. The first thing to spot is the dvd cover does it look like the art is copy/pasted - looks like it's a scanned, copied and paste job? Also the dvd itself - mine has silent hunter written over it with a uboat being depth charged and the art on it is genuine meaning it doesn't look like a copy/paste job, mine also has the key written across it, check the manual as well does it look new? or does it look like the manual was a copy/past onto a home made book. Really it comes down to this pirates are cheap & just plain stupid, they must think we're all colored blind or something as all the above ive mentioned are the giveaways. The biggest giveaway is pirated copies cannot play online so load SH3 up and see if you can join a multiplayer game, if its a copy theirs no way ubi.com will let you play online - they will check your key and know its cracked.
Also if you recieved the game sealed in plastic im sure its genuine. Then again they might of just got more clever?
