Man Busted For Selling CoD: WWII Copies Stolen From A Sony Factory

4.3

According to Kotaku, a man who resides in Terre Haute, Indiana has been charged with theft and “offense against intellectual property” for selling PlayStation 4 copies of popular games – including Call of Duty: WWII.

Apparently the man stole the games from a nearby Sony DEDC factory in Terre Haute, though, oddly enough, he didn’t work there. It’s there that Sony produces a number of CD, DVD and Blu-Ray discs, though there are other plants where they do so.

A report from WTHITV notes that the man was busted during a routine traffic stop, where police found a number of copies of both Call of Duty and Madden NFL 18 in his car.

So, it turns out that he’s been taking these games and selling them for $45 apiece on eBay since earlier in the month. But here’s the thing – he doesn’t work at the factory, so police aren’t certain where he was able to get them. They’re currently checking into the matter, alongside Sony.

Call of Duty: WWII releases on November 3rd for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Must be more to the story. How would the average cop know the games were stolen unless they were already on the lookout?

Also, hopefully anyone who managed to buy one of the illegal copies was smart enough to disconnect their internet from their console before playing it. Sounds like a good way to get your console banned lol

Like everyone's saying. Selling the copies for that cheap. Could have easily sold them for $150+ for the standard copy. Then again he stole them, so he probably just wanted to quickly flip a bunch of them to make a good profit.
