Cue the ignorant comments of people that have too much of a tunnel mind that think "hacking" only has one definition.
And those that love it when they can let their favorite game companies bend them over and rape them.
@Enigma_2099: So...I'm not allowed to use something that Blizzard SUPPORTS? Are you kidding me? Look at one of the interface tools Blizzard implemented into Cataclysm: the icons that appear in the center of the screen when one of your abilities are available to use. That idea was first used by an add-on called Power Auras. They added their own because add-ons take up system memory when you run the game (popular add-ons don't take up that much, if any). But if they thought using them w...
"News flash dark...the only reason that case went the way it did was due to the iphone being locked to only one carrier. Jail-breaking allowed the user their choice of carrier, ergo it was deemed reasonable by the judge. In this case the same excuse can't be used. You're free to use whatever internet provider you wish with a PS3."
People USED the jailbreak TO do that. That wasn't the only usage of the break. If you seriously think that it was the only re...
THANK YOU! Bubbles up for a post that, FINALLY, injects some much needed common sense into this debate.
I think Sony should stop pirates and cheaters, but keep the modders that want to do things like play homemade games (I'm wondering why the author of this article mentioned homebrew games as something Sony should want to stop, myself; how is playing homebrew games a BAD thing?) and add some additional functionality to the system in mind (remember, if Valve didn't sup...
Actually, there is a mention of Issac in Extraction. The doctor you meet in, I think, chapter 4 of Extraction (correct me if I'm wrong) is Issac's girl, and you see later on the video of her injecting herself and pleading to Issac that it "wasn't supposed to be like this", the same video Issac sees in the first Dead Space. Lexi is horrified of what she sees, and of course, it has major implications in Dead Space (the doc's the reason Issac even GOES on that faithful ...
Umm, you guys don't even read the text to the article that appears ON THE N4G PAGE before spewing your hate? Good lord, READ THE ARTICLE!
"Graf_chokolo, famous for a multitude of decryption payloads on the PS3, has warned Sony to back off. Earlier today, several sites were issued Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices, ordering them to stop hosting several famous PS3 dev's projects. Sites such as GitHub complied with the order, and removed projects being...
@UnwanteDreamz
Did they have any former way to get their legal games to run on the PS3? If they did, I would LOVE to see that. I stand by my opinion. Are people going to use it to cheat and pirate? Of course. Does that mean that ALL people who ever use(d) CFW are cheats and pirates before they even do anything WITH CFW? Stop trying to see the forest from the trees. This is not the black and white issue you're making it out to be.
@huzzaahh
If you ...
If they were after just hackers and pirates, then they would find more creative ways to make sure no one could use the jailbreaks in such manners instead of trying to close off the jailbreak altogether. I'm not trying to find nonexistent conspiracies. I'm just putting two and two together here.
Do you think homebrew (legit and legal homebrew) games are bad to have on your system, and would you try them if given the opportunity? I don't know of any because I haven...
No, you're right. Completely right.
However, it seems we PS3 gamers HAVE to be at war with Geohotz because God forbid someone ever found a way to jailbreak the unbreakable PS3. Like I said before, the whole cat-n-mouse game that Sony is doing about that has something more to it than just thwarting cheaters and pirates. It seems they don't want you playing any games on their systems that they won't make any money off of, either! Why do you think they are so against...
This isn't the same thing. It isn't permanent. It's just saying that the things in question can't be distributed by those involved while the case is going on. This is the same as what happened in the iPhone ordeal, and we all know what eventually happened there.
So you don't mind having to download a new FW every two days just so Sony can have their way? You do realize it's not just hackers and pirates that Sony wants to get rid of, do you? There's a reason why Sony doesn't have an indy dev kit publicly available like MS does for the 360.
You do realize that this is N4G, right? NO one is going to actually agree with that (besides me). It's gotta be either one extreme or the other with them, without any middle, compromising ground. Sony can't seem to find that common ground, either, apparently. They can really take advantage of homebrew games without allowing the piracy or hacking to gain advantage in the games they play online.
There's something ELSE about this whole thing that Sony is scared of th...
Never said to not agree or disagree, or show your support or objection towards his actions. Never said that.
My problem is the vitriol that is coming with the opposition. Can we say our opposition without saying to "kill the fuck"? Why is it that allowing opposition means we need to allow the vitriol?
You're giving society WAY too much credit there.
First, you got the whole idea in what "freedom of speech" even IS completely wrong! It says that the GOVERNMENT can't restrict your right to express your opinion. The admins of N4G and any other site have the right to set rules so they can keep some order and make you have to accept responsibility for what you say and how you say it.
And you're trying to say that because they have that freedom to say that Geo was wrong, that they have the right to say that h...
So...that makes what they said okay? Does that mean you're condoning what was said to begin with?
Instead of calling ME out for bringing it up, you should go to the people you said I made famous (and hopefully they get called out more), you go to them and tell them to stop talking like that so we won't have to talk about this? Why can't you do that instead of telling ME that it's not okay for calling out this stuff? Why is it okay for THEM to post those commen...
Umm...I do have it connected. I've always had it connected. I'm just not that concerned about the stuff that could happen because why should I be? Everyone is getting all bent out of shape over it, and you are seeing what they are saying. They are asking for this guy's death. Why should I be involved with crap like that, and why should I have to get that hysterical about something. I know the issues surrounding it, and I know there are things that need to be addressed about it, bu...
There is so much fail in that statement that I can't begin to count the ways it does.
THAT'S nice! Let's show how MATURE we are by calling for someone to KILL the man! Yeah, that'll show them that we're BETTER than him!
You said "modding", which might be the word these articles HAVE to get through some of the thick heads that do nothing but kiss Sony's asses all the time. Can do no wrong, no matter WHAT they do. Hey, I love what Sony has done for the industry and the PS3, but why is every single article or comment that says anything besides "get em, Sony. We want to see blood," or "I hope Geohot's entire family dies in a house fire" met with those very same comments aime...
