No Cypher, you're confused too. My example is so straight forward to understand. Let me break it down for you. He owns the hardware yes, not the software. Now the analogy of a lock.. Creating a device to open it and then sharing it.. The software is the key. He doesn't own that key. Now these root keys which in your analogy open locks, they are used to verify that a game is genuine, and with that knowledge, hackers and pirates can essentially trick the console into recognizing counterfeit software as the real deal. You can choose to download firmware updates, but if your hardware is compromise, the secuirty update will not allow you to log in online.
So in other words, somebody found the keys to the game developers shops. He went ahead and made copies of it. Or shows people how to create one. Do you understand now? Look, it is just an example.
