I couldn't disagree more. Sony chooses to handle things this way and sees depriving people of a game they paid for as an acceptable behavior.
Homebrew didn't take these games away, Sony did.
Hopefully, they'll refund people and that will be that but not saying a thing about it is already a very shitty thing to do.
FWIW, I think Apple does the same thing with apps.
Oh Jesus...
We all know homebrew on these devices rarely give anything beneficial outside of emulators. Typically some time later another group will take this work and adapt it to run legal ripped copies of their games, and that is eventually used to pirate software.
This is a logical sequence of events.
The fact that this guy mockingly made it public was the *cause*. It harbors some of the blame. The *effect* is that Sont dicks around and does bullshit like this.
Both parties are wrong in how they do what they do. The homebrew kid didn't have to publicly challenge Sony, just because he wanted to prove he could beat the security (for publicity no less).
Sony, on the other hand, SHOULD remove the software, while simultaneously crediting every purchaser the full price of the title.
Again, both parties took the wrong action, and in the end the core user is effected more than anyone else.
