    Afaik, if there’s not a legitimate way to purchase the game it becomes a grey area in the US. I’d be shocked if the EU didn’t have a similar exception, but idk.

      Technically yes, but only under very specific circumstances and from what i know you can’t distribute or get a tool for it from the internet, as the distributor goes into a very dark gray area.

      And its also not giving you the right to run your own server if necessary, its also not allowed to crack hardware for it.

      It should be legal, it should also be legal to crack any no longer supported software and set up servers for it, but currently it isn’t.
