Aw, poor little mommy boys.

tehpees34810d ago

They still live in their basements hacking into the latest gaming device.

Sony want to drag them up to the surface to feel the sun for the first time in over 15 years

Enate4810d ago

When the jailbreak opened up multiplayer cheating they crossed the line.

Bear_Grylls4811d ago

These hackers like Geohotz get more and more pathetic by the day.

I can't wait for SONY to wipe the floor with these pimply little nerds.

Email Sony all you want you dumb piracy supporters it won't help you break the law.

Kakkoii4809d ago

They aren't and haven't broken the law. And that stereotype of nerds being pimply and not ever going outside is ridiculous. You should show a little more respect for the type of people who make your consoles, games and electronics you use daily.

NotSoSilentBob4810d ago

The Hackers should drop the whole "We are doing it for Homebrew" lie cause their isn't 1 actual Homebrew game out there. 99% of the things in CFW is backup loaders for playing pirated software.

MintBerryCrunch4810d ago

how is that hackers on one console manage to steal $1.2 million in games/dlc, yet whenever some ps3 hacker comes out with a comment, this site goes into attack mode

MysticStrummer4810d ago

So since the makers and users of that one console didn't care about hacking, the makers and users of PS3 should just lay down and take it. Interesting thought process there.

BlackTar1874810d ago

I know WTF lol. USE YOUR BRAIN PEOPLE.

and lOL and grammar nazi i can't wait for the day when people realize what type of losers point out grammatical errors to somehow disprove a point they can't otherwise with facts.

Microsoft confirmed it wasn't that much.

helrazor3434810d ago

I say screw all those hackers, they've been the ones to blame from the beginning. They seem kinda thick to think that people should support them, when they were responsible for everyone getting screwed in the 1st place, all they want is to steal and cheat, regardless of what platform they do it on.

Kakkoii4809d ago

Yeah.. no. Stop being so ignorant. It is completely unfair to say all they want to do is steal and cheat just because some other people misuse the exploits they created. People like Geohot are GOOD people. They invest lots of time to open up the hardware that WE PAID FOR, so we can use it as we like. Whether we use it for illegal purposes or legal ones is a personal choice that you can't blame on the hacker. It's like saying we should blame knife makers for all the brutal stabbings that have occurred merely because they made these sharp utensils available.

Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider pours scorn on EA's AI dreams.

"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".

Publishers see gaming as another stock market.

Phil Spencer and the Battle for Xbox’s Soul

Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.

LG_Fox_Brazil21h ago

This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in

rlow13h ago

I disagree, Xbox from the get go innovated and changed the industry. They did a lot of firsts and standardized a lot of others. It wasn’t till the beginning of the Xbox1 era that things started to go south.

Hedstrom6h ago

Phil wants Xbox to be as soulless as him!

Tacoboto5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.

Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.

Markdn5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 10h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18215h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie5h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

PonyRider11m ago

Being downvoted for speaking facts is crazy. They want to spin whatever fits their narrative of evil corporation.

Notellin1h ago

"Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox."

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

PonyRider11m ago

The Blue camp really do be doing mental gymnastics.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno17h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno15h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

PonyRider10m ago

Lack of investment and killing off the servers ring a bell?

fsfsxii1h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno22m ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
