And they’re not.
And you’re not obligated to buy their products
Is piracy a thing on modern consoles?
99% of the games worth playing on them come out on PC, so yes.
Depends on your firmware and such. It often takes time, but they'll all be jailbroken eventually.
Not even true
What previous gen console hasn't been?
Use emulation. Can't play the latest, but there's no shortage
I figured. DS had great piracy, which is where my burgeoning hope was pulled from.
Switch has great support too. Older models could be modded without requiring hardware modification the later ones like the oled did.
Look into the bounty on a PS5 firmware crack.
15k seems like a nice sum. I'm guessing it's pretty locked down if a few months' pay hasn't led to anything
Or it could be an attempt to drive the sum up since Sony pay for bugs found. That said, these things take time to find too.
And I don't. Those 800 games that I haven't touched aren't going to play themselves.
Neither one sussists on consumer products lol
