Ignore them all like the plague.....God only knows what the discs contain.

Shouldn't be ignored! You really should report seller/sale to eBay

It's not my style or my drama.....what would you do about the hundreds or maybe even thousands of torrent links?

Best not to get involved IMO.

I say report 'em. I don't like pirates, but I won't go out of my way to hassle them. (Laugh at 'em when they get infected with malware from downloading sketchy warez via torrents, yes

)

But when someone's dirty enough to directly profit off of it... "I'm thinkin' somebody needs to put you down, dog. What do you think?" (I hate quoting Alliance, but it applies in this case...)

Report it to UBI... I'm sure they will be keen to see how they broke their DRM. Cheers

Sounds dodgy! Avoid it as you would avoid a Rat in 1665!

Plus, as someone said earlier. I don't like it but I can live with people pirating stuff for free. But profiting out of it is just down right disgusting! Report 'em!

OP

who said the copy has been installed already?

everyones says "dont touch this subject" or "report the seller"...
but yall do not reamlly know what the exact offer IS actually.

LOLz

Actually, Hundert, if you spend 1 minute searching ebay you'll find the seller in question and unless he bought at least ten copies, installed the lot and then decided he didn't like the game, it's pretty suspicious, especially when thanks to the wonderful DRM he only needed one copy and could install it everywhere.

Alternatively, if they are new and legit copies, then I want the details of his distributor, because to be able to sell them for as low as US$15.99 (including free shipping in the USA), he's got great connections.

Also humourous is that he's sold three copies today (in addition to the active four copies he has for auction). I wonder if this thread is pushing up business for the seller? How ironic.

So maybe a bit less

and a bit more

?

Just as a matter of interest I checked everyone advertised on eBay, but none were being advertised as not requiring a permanent internet connection, maybe they have been caught already!
