Is $ony even trying anymore?

[BelmontSlayer]

Every new firmware they release gets cracked. They almost never change the encryption keys, let alone try a new algorithm. I'm guessing the only reason they even patch the holes is to make it look like they are taking a firm stand against piracy. So, what do you guys think? Will $ony ever try to take a stronger stance against the hackers?

*Note: I'm all for homebrew and hacking, I just want some opinions*

They haven't stopped obviously, didn't they change all the prx's to elf's or something.

I hope they don't quit, that means no more custom fw's!

i spose they reckon that anyone who wanted homebrew would have it by now. they are wrong obviously as with the new exploit ishall cbe converting a few ore friends to the cause

the software sales are good, so I don't think hacing the homebrew is really a problem.

Ohhh trust me they are a HUGE problem, just look at my city... The most part of the OE or other psp hacking stuff users buy pirated isos .

The homebrew is not the problem... the problem is the piracy.

I got my psp just for homebrew, some homebrew apps like iso loaders or emulators and some other applications that could lead to piracy are "the problem" for $ony or another gaming company.

for $ony, a "normal" user would not download pirated .isos or roms, they own a copy instead and then they rip its contents and then they use the .isos or roms with the homebrew emulators, they fear that some users will not do that and then begin to download without paying. And the best way to avoid that is blocking the homebrew.

In theory they are still winning money but hey, look at a warez site, look at the top torrents downloads and presto! you will find
the pirated psp games on the top with thousands of leechers. They are loossing more money with this.

Harsh for some users (like me) I know but these are bussiness for $ony.

but every device nowadays gets hacked for piracy, just some of us are more moral and will pay for games that are genuinley worth it, which is very few recently for the psp

they also make cash from nintendo most of my mates got a psp because they wanted to re-play all the great snes/nes games.

so theres dark-alex (+all other coders) who take months coding for the psp and sony makes all the cash from other peoples ward work.

and do you think hackers could beat sony? do you really think that? do you think sony forgot to block the gta lcs hack in 3.03? if you do your a dum ass sony wants homebrew on the psp and we all know it.
