Furthermore he may be wrong. After living through the Xbox 360 modding scene and the cat and mouse between home hackers not state sponsored hackers with unlimited resources I am always amazed when I look back at the cat and mouse game and what the Xbox hackers came up with. It’s simply mind blowing at times. The one that comes to mind is when Microsoft started making games 8gb by default. Lots of games used padding to fill that space so hackers then truncated games. Microsoft learned to detect and ban consoles using truncated games so hackers created custom software to flash to dvd burners so that the burner could burn to the outermost edge of the disc not normally useable. It was so cool to see this back and forth. My point is that with unlimited resources who knows what sort of creative way this water pump could have been used to transport the malware.
- whycome 3y agoI think Sony benefitted from turning a blind eye to PS2 piracy. And I also think Microsoft might have purposefully used hackers to develop counter attacks. Maybe for fun.
- toyg 3y agoPiracy promotes a platform - if there is one company that understands that thoroughly, that's Microsoft. Hence, I doubt they employed people to promote piracy on the PS2.
