"They are becoming the whipping boy of the computer underground," [a cybersecurity expert] said.

Well, geee. I wonder why. I mean, we all laughed and facepalmed and shook our heads when SHC got taken down or the surpremely buggy new EVE-O forums were put up, but at least SHC and CCP knew to turn around and head for a safe (if older) system when their security issues came to light.  :bash:

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

I say keep going. The Japanese game market deserve it for not "seeing the point" of first-person shooters and being obsessed with on-rails RPGs where the developers just want to make movies really.

God hates them.

Wait... what?

Sony's behaviour towards the 'hacking' community plays into this a lot. Companies like Microsoft have been known to interact with grey/black hats when the need arises. Sony just tend to scream 'HATE' and throw lawsuits around on a whim.

Doesn't exactly make you popular.

Goddammit!

DUST514 is utilizing this console!

I want to play DUST more than anyone, and I know I will NOT be putting my faith into PSN.
I really hope DUST does not take a hit from this shit.

Isn't 514 slated to go to the 360 as well?

Have a buddy with a PS3; loves it from a hardware perspective, but is so fed up Sony over with how it handled of GeoHot's modification efforts he intends to never buy another Sony product (including PS3 games) again.

He will take the free ones.

I think the "Wait... what?" indicates the preceding is a bit of a joke.

Hoping the Sony logos aren't implying it will be console specific.

See my response in the Dust 514 thread for my feelings on this.  :bash:

Maybe this is just a clever ploy by CCP to get out of their commitment to the PS3 for Dust514 after the first hacking attack.  :psyccp:
