- WhiteDawn 2mo agoIn fairness, games didn’t start employing encryption on the content till the 7th generation. So unless you’re applying ips patches to a 360 game you’re not breaking any DRM Playing the title you backed up and patched is a different matter entirely
- SideQuark 2mo agoCourts have ruled many things besides encryption count as anti-copying measures, and that the laws apply retroactively, so it’s not so clear such patches even on 360 are legal. Try selling such patches and test it.
