Is e-bay SH5 game legit?

OldFrenchy · 04-06-10, 12:45 PM

I saw a copy of SH5 on sale on E-bay. The seller stated that it would not work on the internet. So I sent him a message asking him how it was possible to play this game when it required a continuos online connection. He responded:
"Hi, its an import edition, it does not require internet connection because it wont be able to connect to servers in USA. So, its very simply, just install and play, but you cannot play online multi-player mode. Thanks."

B.S.?

It's either cracked or a scam, either way you should avoid it.

That's what I figured, but the price was high enough to speculate...

There are an increasing number of 'offers' on the internet.

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

Dodgy, but kind of interesting too, mind you im with Jimbuna, stay well away mate.

And still. If it is a legal copy, but still installed on his system... You can not play at the same time... Another drm thing... You never can buy a 2nd hand copy.

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.
