The two men didn't work together, and had very different motives:
Man 1) Super fan. Stole the game (1 copy) before release, stopped showing up to work and instead played Zelda all day.
Man 2) Pure theft & resale motive, including other zelda merch
I mean, I can kind of appreciate what the first guy did, with the exception of stealing a copy. A college-age kid, superfan, the game exists-- it's done-- there's just this arbitrary release date so he finds a loophole/backdoor into getting access to a copy.
It's just, you know, at 21 I hope he's dedicating at least a fraction of that energy into his future/career/education whatever.
