You would think that microsoft would atleast put thier name on it...




It does, just look to the right of the center. It appears a bit grey, very hard to see but it's there.

They do different disk art all the time on games.

Even when they release special editions.

In reallity there is no proven way to spot a fake from a real deal.
New software piracy methods come out just as fast as the anti-piracy methods.

My advise is not to fall for "too good deals" like there trying to get rid of it fast for a reduced price.
And some of these guys may be evil enough to hide away a virus in these pirated CD's.

Yes I was talking about Microsoft. They put thier name on everything... That is why i think it is a fake... But its not worth fighting over.

People who are foolish enough not to analyse the disc markings make their own problem. If it IS a fake, it's nothing to make a fuss about. "Argh! Stop the presses! Scam of the century! Fake Freelancer CD being sold on E-bay!" We can't do anything about it anyway.

Come with me, to the Director of HR.

I got the same copy, only for $1...(after currency conversion)

it also comes with a 2 weeks warantty that if you don't like the game or the disk is damaged, you can exchange it with other titles..

Who cares? If you think it's fake, don't buy it. It's only that simple.

Maybe the Lane Hackers are flogging fake Freelancer CDs. They're the computer geniuses ...
