Any game on any system can be hacked but only a remote amount of people have any interest in doing it.

Time for hype

Go Packers!?!? Even though I'm not a Packers fan.(Go 49ers! next year anyway) I still think the Packers will make it to the Super Bowl (vs. the Jets hopefully, as I don't like the Steelers)

Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

I don't think the specific Activision threat is the bigger news story (which was probably just an empty rant anyway) , but the hackers in general are a much bigger news story. This could change the face of PSN forever. I mean they've heavily screwed up the online portion of some of the most popular games on PS3, started to cheat the trophy system and they've not even had the hack a month yet.

the trophy hack is flawed, unless they want to show off to there mum, they haven't been able to sync it online yet.

and still people will lable you either an hacker or an no lifer so whats the point.

As for piracy we have to see how the bit torrent sites end up and see if SONY's plan to firmware there disk to prevent the jailbreak works.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Activision blaming Sony and making no efforts themselves against the hackers is just...well something Activison would do.

So far the only games I have heard people are cheating on are the CoD ones.

So can steam on ps3... Steam can change the way downloadable games come to consoles forever.

Steam will still be there on ps4, hackers will need to start over.

Since it's co-op and not competitive it's probably not that big of a deal...but if some a hole tries to mess with my steam account i'd be pissed!

They wouldn't need to go through PSN to do that
