so people will end up buying things......that they can get for free, that makes no sense whatsoever, and compareing piracy to things like borrowing a game, and renting one??? ummm really....
you don't see the OBVIOUS FAIL in that logic, no of course you don't (your supporting it afterall) well here's the thing, that makes piracy different form those things.......you DON'T own a borrowed or rented game, that freing can say, I want my game back and you have to give it back, which if you liked the game you'll buy so you can keep playing and not have anyone say, I need it back. same goes for renting. Priacy on the other hand is a game you OWN, no one (and I can't beleive i have to say this) will say give it back.
And another thing about this whole shitstorm, is that the people who support it where proud and happy to tell EVERYONE "Sony CAN'T do ANYTHING to stop this" they have the keys and whatnot, and how they could trick the ps3 into thinking anything is legit, and how it's walking though the front door undetected insted of the back window (like with 360, wii, etc which can easily be decteded)
and yet now when we are getting nothing but BAD news (all the things d********s said they didn't want to happen), the same poeple are saying but but teh wii and 360 has hacks and piracy, so it won't effect the ps3 even though you just got finish bragging about how the hack on ps3 is WAY worse but all of a sudden it won't be any woser than on the other platforms.
here's the reality of the situation, nothing good has come form this good intention hack, just that one piece of firm ware that douchebag released that has been used for nothing but hacking and cheating in online games, and piracy. where's the homebrew......where's the custom themes (and really custom themes), etc. I ask where you short sighted *******,I actually liked MW2 which is unplayable now -__-
oh and food for thought, ask your self hackers, you say linux and other os was the reason for the hack, and knowing Sony removed the feature to combat hacking, do you think it will even be an option next gen, when it would have actually been usefull running on hardware that could suppot it properly.
for an extremely talented and gifted group, these guys make really stupid decisions.
