It's a reactionary move precipitated by the hacking done by that geohat guy. A lot of gaming companies think that by making a console pirate proof (which the PS3 has been so far) saves them money in the long run.
Look at the whole Ubisoft Assassin's Creed 2 mess.
In Sony's case I think they partly blame the PSP's problems on piracy and don't want it to happen to the PS3.
- gizmomagico 17y agoA lot of gaming companies think that by making a console pirate proof (which the PS3 has been so far) saves them money in the long run. Surely it's a big boost to game sales when people have no other option than to buy.
- TheBranca18 17y agoYeah I agree, I'm just saying that sometimes companies make the DRM so restrictive to prevent people from buying that they can anger people. That Assassin's Creed 2 PC mess is a good example of bad DRM.
- chrischen 17y agoThere's a difference between what they are doing now and the Ubisoft Mess. With Assassin's Creed they exerted effort to enforce DRM, with the PS3 they are just not making it easier for you to break DRM.
