Blame GeoHotz (George Hotz) for Firmware 3.21

So...if a Sony customer is pissed off about loss of functionality in a console that they paid good money for, your suggestion is to buy a SECOND console?

Am I the only one here who thinks that sounds absolutely insane?

[QUOTE="DragoonSaber"][QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"]Hardly anyone uses it... it sucks for those that do, but don't blame sony, blame the a-hole hackers... Sony knows how big piracy got and still is on the 360 and even Wii, its not there fault they have to take drastic measures to stop people from illegally pirating their games..PoisoN_Facecam0

It also leads to bigger and better features. What I mean by this is practically all the features of XBMC and other homebrew software from the original xbox went into the 360. The xbox with homebrew was the best Media Center Hub for it's time other than PC's.

There are plenty of people who own 2 Xbox 360s. One is Moded and one is not. IF people want to keep their own open moded PS3 then if they want to play online then they will have to buy another PS3 to play online games.

Looking at this it seems that Steam and other Digital distrubution will be the only way to play games in the future. More Game developers will fold and Nintendo who will focus on the family, the people who do not Pirate games will win.

The only way they'll fold is if consumers buy into it. Personally, I don't like not having something I can recoop some of the cost if I decide I don't like it or no longer want it.

We get what we make. And if enough people pirate and not enough people support the developers then this medium will fall. It cost Millions of dollars to make games. And when people make money makeing games they could easily LOSE all the money they made on making another game. Look at the developer Free Radical who had money from many of their past games but lost it all on 1 SINGLE GAME Haze.

I can assure you they didn't lose money due to piracy. Seriously, they lost money due to investors and publisher rushing out an unfinished product.

If people pirate or buy used gamesfor the most part then thedeveloperswill not make their investment money back. How will the devemopermake new games? most of the money will not be there as publishers and investment from other sourses will not be there. These investors want to make a profit, and unfortuinitly developers do not have the money nor would make the money if they do not get paid.

You do realize the people writing the code aren't the ones seeing money based on sales right? Do you think the people who coded MW2 made more money because it sold well? They work on salary not commision. Gaming and piracy has been around for a very long time, there are far worse things killing the industry, like the Bobby at Activision ;) LMAO.
