Homebrew I understand, but who cares if this guy is selling a game that was never release? Perhaps VALVe does, but I don't see why we would.

the guy tried pretty hard to make it look like a "real" game!

... someone has actually bought one from him!

oh well...

I suppose if I was desperate enough to play the game and didn't have a burner/broadband (or knew anyone that did) then I suppose I'd pay money for it. I dunno about $50 though..

the PC version is superior - there really is no point in having the DC version. using a control pad sucks. even on ps2 w/dualshock2

Reply from Ebay:

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to write to eBay.

I would also like to explain eBay's policy with respect to reports like
yours.

eBay is not in a position to make judgements about the authenticity or
authorised nature of listings, except in the most extreme circumstances.
This may mean that we cannot remove the item about which you contacted
us, particularly when it is not blatantly clear from the item itself
that it is in some way infringing.

Although you may be extremely knowledgeable about these types of items,
we often cannot remove items upon the representations of third parties
whose credentials we cannot verify, unless of course the alleged
infringement is obvious on its face. That is why we strongly urge you
to notify the rights holder of the suspected infringement and encourage
them to join our Verified Rights Owners (VeRO) Program. This program
enables them to request the ending of allegedly infringing listings.

Stupid Ebay, someone tells them that the game is a fake and was never published and they respond with this BS. Oh well I hope the people that buy the copies are happy with them as it seems Ebay won't do anything about it.

should i tell them it's automated.....?

ebay has responded to my warez reports before. They do look into the reports they get.

That's their stock response. I don't blame them for their stance, either.

Ebay were quite helpfull, Sega even sent me a thank you Email, but HL is still there along with emulators, and backups and god knows what else?

Apparently the guy has the market cornered. If he already sold 1, and has 2 more for sell..

I don't actually so much mind the people who make it somewhat clear its not a legit copy. But this guy acts like its a special deal. Usually they list them with a generic photo and the details say "New no manual or case".
