Man faces felony for selling stolen copies of Call of Duty: WWII
Dshaye Towles, the man in question, has been charged with a misdemeanor for the theft of the games, but also faces one count of felony for “offense against intellectual property.” While the alleged seller could have asked for top-dollar, he apparently only sold copies on eBay for $45 each.
While the report doesn’t detail how Towles could have gotten copies of the game, as the DADC facility did not previously employ him, Sony’s factory in Terre Haute was recently burglarized. Many copies of the shooter and Madden 18 were stolen from the company’s building in early October on the same day. Towles is set to appear before a judge in court next week.
While the upcoming World War II game hasn’t faced anything as severe as this recent legal matter, there have been plenty of leaks. In early October, Reddit users leaked a wave of multiplayer details that forced the developer, Sledgehammer Games, to make official announcement earlier than planned. More recently, another leak from the game’s PC beta revealed new customization options for weapons.
Call of Duty: WWII launches for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 3rd.

I would have kept one copy for myself and sell the rest on launch day. I would have stayed quiet though.

Daniel As he should, If you steal you have to suffer the consequences because everybody gets caught sooner or later.
There are people out there that haven't been caught. But I agree,I personally think were a bit lenient on criminals these days. People rot on Death row and die of natural causes because we're to chicken sh*t to actually kill them.
I hope he gets a nice heavy sentence. A misdemeanor will eventually fall off his record after X amount of years. But a felony..Those stick with you for life. Hope the chump change he sold those games were worth it.
