I think the reason we're getting so many new users in this thread is because it's one of the higher results when searching the seller's name on Google.
To said new users: If you're here to stay, then welcome! Please take some time to read the forum rules and forum FAQ so that you don't inadvertently fall astray of one of our rules.
Aside from that: I do wonder if this guy might be trying to use negative feedback to improve his ranking in search engines. It's a relatively new tactic (I think) where questionable sellers, aware that negative feedback creates more of a stir than positive feedback, willingly scam users in the hopes they'll complain elsewhere. The more buzz that's created through correspondence and bad sales, the more the scammer's ranking improves in search engines, and the more likely someone else searching for games on the cheap will find his half.com store links and try to purchase without doing enough research to see links to warning threads like these.
I don't know how valid that tactic is anymore, much less if it's actually being employed here, but do know that if we manage to discover that this thread is somehow inadvertently helping this scammer become more successful, then we'll likely need to take action to curb that.
Buyer beware, and whatnot.
