A few weeks ago I bought Cossacks Anthology (CD-ROM) from an online bidding service, from someone who seemed reputable, ie. hundreds of positive remarks.
Nothing wrong there, I got the game, he got my money, the game seemed ok (and original).
Anyway, then I noticed that he put up exactly the same advert again, for the same game. Does he possess several copies of Cossacks Anthology? Where does he get them? Is there big money involved in selling Cossacks Anthology games second hand? Seemed like a good career to me. I was a bit tempted to bid for that copy too, just to see if he will eventually run out of them.
Albeit, I'm not sure if he accidentally reactivated the same advert or something, if he had tried selling that one game for years already...
Anyway, now I wish I wouldn't have bought it from him, because just today I bought DRM free CSC collection (which includes all the Cossacks games too) from DE. Oh well, the CDs make good mini-frisbees I presume.

Is it a Steam exclusive title?

I asked them about that this morning, and they said it was not DRM-Free.

I thought that was pretty weird too, especially with their stated position on DRM-Free titles.
Edit:
To be fair, it's not an internal title as the dev is Nitro Games, but it's still surprising.
