| o_O.Q said: "he's also holding a gun to your head" no but his hacks affected others when they are used to cheat in games ( affecting users ) and to pirate software ( affecting publishers and developers although i believe it was never so extensive that it had a great effect but it probably would have eventually led to a situation like the psp if nothing was done about it ) and i'll reiterate this one more time i absolutely believe that the user has the right to modify their console as they see fit but not when others have to suffer the consequences because of their actions |
Alright, then you tell me, why wouldn't Sony putting tighter control on the PSN side of things not only solve the issue of cheating and piracy of online games, but also allow the purchaser to freely modify their console at the same time?
You want to know WHY Sony doesn't follow this path, along with all other online mediums? Because they believe they're entitled to not spend as much on server security as everyone else. Once again, when someone cheats on an online service, it's the problem of the service.
I won't even bother bringing up the PSP. You think piracy caused it's dismal sales, I say it was a poor software library, and only one of those affect sales of the actual console....
