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

It's $45 to buy the game outright.

They don’t want to risk such a large chargeback or lawsuit over “accidental” purchase by a new user, so are only trying to sell to proven whales.

I think whats scarier is that there probably definitely are some who are married and their spouse has zero idea how much they've spent.

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

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.
