All they need to do is move to IP bans instead of Profile and console bans.

They just prefer profile and console bans because it makes them more money.

Dude cheats enough so you can ban him?   Great, now he has to rebuy all his downloadable content.

Same reason Steam just VAC bans your entire account rather then just locking you out of the vac servers on the game you cheat on.

Yeah, but if the rumors about them getting free stuff from PSN are true, then there is zero point to do this. Granted, steam was supposedly hacked a few times, but you gotta question just how secure the Ps Store and Steam are.

I hope IP bans would suffice, if circumventing them is difficult (little to no knowledge on how this works).

That, and I just wonder how much truth there is to the claim about being able to frame others.

Here's the thing as I understand it based on what I know the hack does.


By "getting free stuff from PSN."

They don't mean LITERALLY from the PSN servers.   They mean you can get stuff that's on PSN for free, by downloading it online from other servers and tricking your PSN into authenticating it.  So it's no different from any other piracy.

By "framing others" what they mean is, you can change your console ID to get out of Console bans, and you could probably change your PSN ID to read as someone elses PSN ID framing others.

So that means Console and PSN ID bans should be eliminated and instead replaced with IP bans... which bans your internet connection.  So you can't connect to PSN from your house... so the worst you could do with that is go to a friends house and get them banned, or steal someones unprotected wi-fi and get them banned as well.
