So CFW PS3's had been offline since that OFW release that would banhammer them
So most just accumulated ungodly amount of trophies by cheating with multiple ways till they can gain access to PSN again
Most ripped discs and abused saves/game code and got Platinums illegitimately
When a way was found to connect to the PSN w/o banning, most just synced their shit, and went legit and trying to stay under the radar
Some still do it
Proof:
Yeah, this will escalate, quickly, if redsox gets doesn't get revoked, you damn well know those threads will be on fucking fire for those items coming up soon
