UFO:AI on Ebay??
BTAxis:
Yes, I agree. Once 2.2 is ready the download for 2.1.1 should go.
zippythezip:
You should check his feed back items and see just how many people this guy has sold to. I guess most people are trusting and think they wont get conned. I am also one of the trusting part of the human race, welcome to the real world :-[
BTAxis:
I think that part of it is that people don't even realize that they've been conned. Most people don't know what sourceforge is and a lot never even bother to visit the game's homepage. And even if they do find out they've been conned, they may not go to the trouble of raising an issue over $10. That's how it works. You scam people just a little so it doesn't really hurt them, but do it often enough and you end up rich.
Inhuman:
Hello. I've also just seen this scam going on Ebay. There seems to be only one seller selling this on Ebay, so I'm trying to send a message to every Ebay member who has bought this through the seller's feedback page.
Here is my suggestion for the developers, whoever they are: Pick one among yourselves every few months to be the "owner" of this project, and that proceed with whatever action can be taken. People, including Ebay, apparently doesn't give a s.t about non-profit open-source projects. There has to be someone in flesh and bone for them to care.
Destructavator:
What would be interesting is if one of us involved in the project sacrificed a few dollars to "buy" the game and then left a negative feedback rating with a sentence explaining that the seller is illegally selling a product he doesn't have rights to...
Seriously, I looked at the ratings for this seller and a break in his almost perfect track record could really do some damage to his reputation and make people wake up, as his ratings are listed from previous buyers along with a sentence by each rating.
I can personally afford the $8 or whatever if more people are willing to jump in, just an idea...
(Don't spend anything yet though, at least not unless more people are willing.)
It would certainly cost much less than a court filing fee along with attorney costs and other related legal fees.
