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 a start, but we can do better. Well, someone out there can! I'm patient lol

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.

[–] squid_slime 1 points 11 months ago

Yea reverse engineering they're servers would be a lot tbf, but who knows, crazier things have happened

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.

It is. You don't need to buy ships with real money, it's for backing the project only.
