| JWS said: It seems like nobody put any effort into hacking the ps3 until sony removed linux. But as soon as sony pissed off a few people it was hacked within a few months. So it makes me wonder about the next gen. With all the asshatery sony is now doing will there be a full force effort to hack the ps4 as soon as it comes out? |
They removed OtherOS because of people being able to exploit PS3 security via it. Infact if I recall, Geohot himself was the person hacking OtherOS to get to PS3 side of things for, as said in a BBC interview, allowing user to play pirated games and homemade software.
Valid reason to remove it really, you give everyone something and people abuse it, you have to remove it. Not even a feature I used so don't care.
Maybe there will be but it seems Sony are just trying to take a stand against the hacking of consoles, while other sit back and allow consoles to be hacked and games stolen costing the industry millions a year. If you support the games industry you'd buy your games anyway.
Hmm, pie.
