An erra is to come to an end as the Eu says enough is enough and introduces new rules and hefty fines.

    Yeah agreed to an extent but I would say a massive portion of those who installed linux attempted to pirate games. It makes sense to block it.

    I’d prefer to mandate that they allow other stores on the consoles or mandate no advertisements or promotions on the console.

      That’s a lie.

      The original Sony feature did not give access to all the hardware and thus it was not possible to play ps3 games on it.

      Their ban actually motivated people to crack Sony’s measures and install Linux with full access to the hardware.

        Well it wasnt a lie it was an estimation of the use, I ws in that scene then and it was intrinsically linked to homebrew. I am a proponent of piracy and feel that media should be collected and stored to ensure we dont lost content in the years to come. But I emulate and pirate loads of games and consoles.
