Ah yes licensing, the bane of hackers.
“In the past, players could make illegal dumps of their entire PSN library”
How would that possibly be illegal?
It’s funny how Sony fights hackers with new secure console, while Nintendo fights hackers by suing them. Not sure which is better tbh
These companies are all terrible at preserving their games. I won’t deny there are enough people iut there trying to get something for nothing, but there’s also a huge community around the long term preservation of games and gaming history. Without them, many many games would be lost forever.
good luck with that 🤣
TIL people jailbreak ps5s
“Previously, players could download licenses for every single digital game they’ve ever owned with the click of a button.
Now, they can only re-download licenses for games they currently have installed.”
Armageddon. Instead of clicking dump, you have to go through clicking install and dump.
Totally related to jailbreaking and “playstationlifestyle.net” is totally not a blogspam site.
Ooh, I didn’t know you could jailbreak a PS5.
Ran into a situation where my wife and I bought each other a ps5. We managed to get them early and one has just been chilling in the closet ever since. Never took it out of the box.
Since Sony made their games available on PC, I’ve lost interest in jailbreaking my PS5.
I get that this is an issue but I typically don’t go back and replay games that I own. Maybe it will be more of a thing when I have a kid, but by that point we’ll all need to scan our retinas to start our consoles.
