- callalex 3y agoNintendo has never installed root kits on customer computers without informing or gaining consent at least.
- makeitdouble 3y agoNeither did the Playstation group. It makes no sense to count everything with "Sony" in it as the same company if you're talking about their morals.
- edgyquant 3y agoNintendo is fairly average as far as enforcing copyright goes. I really think it’s their aesthetic and presentation of friendliness that makes them seem to standout. Sony is far worse in this regard.

- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoA fellow Sony hater! The Sony BMG rootkit fiasco demonstrated that they hold their customers in contempt and treat them as their enemies. I'm still pissed about their removal of the Linux capability from the PS3 (or at least you couldn't use both Linux and play games on it as was originally advertised and sold).
