Talk about illegal selling.

Post by Hyperblade »

I just bought a new and sealed boxed version of TTD DOS on Ebay and noticed this (Read description):

Some people will try anything. :roll:

Thats wierd. Why should anyone pay 2.99 GBP to this guy, when he can find the download links free with google. Not to mention that this surely is illegal.

because ATI's aren't so good gfx cards apart of their specifications, comatibility is still back .. it should work fine with newest drivers, download them

Hyperblade, you can report it to the eBay because, he cheats with "great" comments about it (he written it himself)

and I think he may using links from THIS forum, he written that he provide multiple links to Patch and TTD

Even better, he snabbed those descriptions directly from Owen's site. What a arse, I hope noone bought from him. Anyways, im sure this link came up before somewhere, I've seen that auction before.

If this is illegal, can't we report this to ebay or something? Or can we write the download links in a comment or sth? Can we do something at all?

hawk, as far as I remember there were few people with GFX problems in TTD, in the end it was always ATI/Radeon cards problem, I think newer drivers always help
