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

      It’s $45 to buy the game outright.

        The gamer careful with his money has already bought Elite Dangerous on sale for less though. Even $45 for what is currently being offered is embarrassing.

      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.

        It’s not like every other game out there has private servers or anything…

        Redirecting wouldn’t be challenging. Redirecting in a turnkey manner and requiring minimal effort on the part of the user?

        Ah yeah. Shits tricky.
