A quick scour of Craigslist in that area turned up no such offers.

Wanting 100 copies is just a cover, they wanted to seem smarter when they really only wanted a copy for each of themselves. I hope they have live, maybe they can be tracked if they used the game before its release date. ---

Many don’t. ---

Microsoft cant, but pretty sure the game producer can lol. Its like ten grand for each copy that gets sold. I doubt they would do that in this case tho, as everyone is losing money. ---
