Could this be a troll attempt to pirate this game?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7IGJ-LSEDc

The link provided in the description doesn't work, otherwise I'd pm this to Jens or Thomas instead, so that wouldn't endanger anyone.
But it sincerely seems something like either a phishing attempt or a piracy attempt. I think it smells more fishy tho...

I bet he's just hooking for views and when he gets enough, he updates the link with trojan virus.

These crop up for pretty much every title in some fashion or other.
Yes they tend to be trojans, keyloggers, "just sign up with all your personal information first...", etc.
Short version; If it isn't on the official page for the company/product you are interested in, don't do it.

If you are all so sure it's a scam, why not post a comment to Youtube saying as much or even flag it as a scam so that the video gets taken down? Not everyone is going to check this forum before handing over their personal details.

I'd do it myself, but I don't have a Google account and don't want one because 'Google are Evil'™

I flagged it, not sure I flagged as the right thing tho. There's no rly specific flag for things such as phishing, piracy, hacking and cracking, etc. There's no rule that talks about this either.

As for comments, I could swear I commented... but after all, either I didn't or the comment is (still) waiting aproval...

I was thinking about commenting on it, but then again, why bother?

Perhaps so that the video gets bad rated and noobish ppl get a piece of warning. (even tho the link is dead now)

Sometimes commenting can be good.

Well, I hit the video with a comment.

" Leave YouTube, please. The door's this way. --> "
However, it says: "Comment Pending Approval!"
