Also, doesn't the game currently require an internet connection to play?

Maybe, but when people talk about "cracking" a video game, they mean removing the telemetry parts of the .exe that might phone home and tattle on you. So often a cracked version of a game will have most online features removed. If it's a game with a single-player campaign, it might still be totally playable.

Perhaps, but the devs have now said that offline single player mode is a feature coming "soon after launch", which says to me that perhaps it's more coupled to a server than just a bit of telemetry, or they'd be far more reactive to the public response about the online requirement. Not to say that I know for sure; it's just a gut feeling.

Yeah we'll only know for sure after it comes out, and after we see what the pirates are able to do. Pirating online-only games is also possible, it's just more difficult so it's less common. Maybe the pirates will wait until the single player mode launches.

Not on an online only AAA game.

Otherwise I’d be playing some sort of Marvel Heroes Omega or Destiny offline.

Plenty of pirates games do, it's never stopped them from figuring out how to get it working lol

It certainly has. Try pirating Marvel Heroes or The Crew.
