I think offering a download of the Titanium client for $10 or so would be a great way for them to make some money and it wouldn't realistically take anyone with a current paid sub away from their servers. Even better would be a legitimate version of the patched client for P99.

There is on average 1200 players nightly on Blue. That's $18000.00 monthly on a $15.00 subscription, $216,000.00 annually. I am certain Daybreak can pay a lot of employees with that kind of income.

Like others have mentioned, they can simply buy out P99 and add it to their server list and charge a sub. Why sell the client when they can get the community?

There're a pair of gaping holes in your logic there, unspoken assumptions that you provide zero evidence to support. It's quite likely that DBG is very aware of just how false your conclusion is.
