I hope an underground software liberation group (cracking) can make this software accessible for everyone.

It's $45 to buy the game outright.

It’s an MMO, so that would require hosting private servers and figuring out how to redirect the game to those servers. Not likely to happen.

This isn't real money is it? Please tell me it isn't. I don't play this game but that would just be fucking sad.

OK, I understand EVE and I understand Elite Dangerous, but this is not normal.
