Being on the receiving end of a transaction involving counterfeit items, is, as you can imagine, exceptionally frustrating. Obviously there’s a personal stake. But it’s even more upsetting in a community that, in the overall scheme of things, is relatively niche - small enough so that most people know each other at least to some extent - and where relationships are generally quite friendly and transactions are largely executed on trust. It’s particularly egregious when the counterfeiter is not only a member of this community, but a well-known one who has regularly engaged in discussions on the authenticity of games and who has denounced other potential counterfeiters. When that happens, it is a fundamental betrayal of an accepted code of conduct that hits at some very basic values and principles. And it’s a behaviour that is damaging not just to a few individuals, but to the community as a whole.
