It's literally called fuck off pricing. A price that's so high you get the buyer to fuck off so you don't need to deal with them, and if they buy it anyway you're happy with the ludicrous mark up. The $750 isn't supposed to be fair it's I don't want to deal with the maths on making money off this figuring out what inflation will be for the next 100 years or the maths for actual lifetime or server improvements deflating expenses etc etc so just get a subscription or fuck off.
