> When the money runs out, the servers get shut down and usually aren't redistributed. This isn't a problem torrents can solve, unfortunately. IIRC, the cracks for the old always-online UPlay DRM basically contained a MVP implementation of their servers. And of course, you have MMORPG "emulators", but those take a lot of effort, only come out for ridiculously popular and lasting games, and end up rewriting most of the game logic based on speculation. So the end result is more like Minetest vs Minecraft than cracked Assassin's Creed vs legit Assassin's Creed.
