weird guy offering me a Pro license for help

News & General Discussion

So I was approached by someone who saw my game in development and asked me if I could teach him how to do programming like that. He also asked me if I could send him my scripts so he can learn from them. Now I replied with the fact that the basic mechanics are based off some tutorials on the internet (which I gave him the links) and refuged to send him my actual scripts telling him that it won’t be of any use for him to learn from my scripts instead of the tutorials.

He keeps asking me if I can’t send the scripts because he would be “too poor” to buy the scripts from the tutorial for $10. Instead, he says he will give me his Unity pro license if I would send him the files. (Which I think is suspicious, first stating that you can’t afford 10 dollars yet have a unity pro license) Even though he can just follow those tutorials and basicly get the same mechanics set up, without buying them for 10 dollars. He even sent me a link to his pro license to download it (which I dont trust, it says the file is 17mb and according to him contains a Unity.exe with the serial key inside I should replace with mine). He even says he spent $3 to upload the file via speedyshare (better spended those on the tutorial scripts right?)

I told him several times I dont want or need his pro license, but he keeps asking if I could send him my scripts in exchange for his license. It kind of starts annoying me. I don’t mind to help him start out, but keeps asking about my scripts which I don’t want to send to him. Anyone knows how to deal with this guy (maybe an admin or something)?

Also, did you guys get alot of approaches from random people like that?

Yeah that’s strange. If he actually has a pro license, he is willing to give away about 1500 or more worth of investment? How would you know he won’t still try to use that license after giving it to you. Also I’m pretty sure it would be against some unity license rule.

Then if he doesn’t have a real license, he is offering you a crack possibly? That would be pathetic.

Don’t take that if he’s not willing to pay in cash then it’s obviously a scam.

I was thinking about it might being a cracked version yes, I also doubt Unity’s agreement would allow passing through their licenses. The guy has only got 2 posts on the Unity forums, one of which on my WIP thread, the other an RPG inventory system offering the same thing (although the question was misinterpreted because of his English)

Yeah those were my thoughts also

Sounds like an idiot.

I’m pretty sure I would have started ignoring him a long time ago.

This seems to be pretty common sense and people trying to trade cracked copies of Unity for services doesn’t really need to be discussed here.
