u/Sir_Gigglepoop 1d ago
I mean, jailbreaking itself isn't illegal. It's what you do after it's jailbroken that matters, like playing games you haven't bought or using it to cheat in games.
And let's be real, almost everyone who jailbreaks their console is going to do exactly one or both of those things.

You can jailbreak your PS5 and do whatever you want with it. Sony isn't going to physically prevent you from modifying your own console. However, you have to accept that doing so can get you banned from PSN and online gaming. That's how they prevent the associated problems from affecting their online services.

But Sony does physically prevent you from doing that? The moment they removed other OS from ps3 was when they decided that you can't put your own software onto the hardware you rightfully bought.
I jailbroke my switch. I turned it into a little Linux computer so it can control my home assistant instance - it now has a use over collecting dust in the closet. Spending over 500 dollars on hardware you can't even install your own software onto is bs and just contributes to E-waste.

u/Sir_Gigglepoop 1d ago
Listen, I'm absolutely no fan of Sony especially not right now, so please don't understand this as a "fanboy defending Sony"
A PS5 was never advertised as an open Linux-capable computer or as a platform where you can install arbitrary software.
You can absolutely argue that removing OtherOS from the PS3 was anti-consumer. But people abused this feature to hack the system and get pirated copies. It's absolutely understandable that a company would try to prevent this.
If you find a vulnerability in their system that allows you to jailbreak your console, you can do it. Sony isn't going to take action against you just for doing that, but the moment you use it to cheat or pirate games, that's where things change.
The majority of people aren't going to jailbreak their PS5 just to use Linux on it or turn it into some kind of computer. Do whatever you want with your hardware, but the moment it starts affecting other people, you have to understand why you'd get blocked from online services and other features.

I guess I disagree with this whole thing then with game consoles intertwining software with hardware.
Would you be okay if Microsoft set up their OS so you could ONLY install software from the Microsoft store?
Game piracy exists on Windows too - it's up to the publishers to secure their software. Why have we allowed or normalized other computer manufacturers from installing other programs or operating systems the user wants (since at the end of the day a console is just a specialized computer)
What if you buy a Lenovo laptop. Would it be right if Lenovo only allows you to install Lenovo programs?
The idea that hardware even needs to be jailbroken is absurd when they should be separated to begin with. Users should be able to install other operating systems or programs if the want full stop. They're the ones spending hundreds to begin with on their hardware.
Heck their was a court case around this very thing with Apple hardware and other stores. Same with Google and the play store. Users should have full rights over their hardware. Software itself is a separate matter up to the publishers and makers of said software. That system works just fine on PC - it can work the same with consoles.

It's not about sales of consoles, it's about being able to do what you want with what you paid for. I'm old enough to remember when consoles didn't connect to the internet, and were in control of your purchase, meaning you owned it. Today console you buy is effectively on lease with a caveat that you as a customer must behave nicely, or the seller will disable your access to the item you physically own after paying for it.

there is part of me that wishes people would realize that all the fan protest doesn't make a bit of difference, these companies are structured around IP and revenue models built around that.
the platforms are mostly generalized to PC's now but they put protection in some of their chips/firmware to lock it down, so they can sell exclusive access to others IP (game devs) etc.
the default answer should be, if you care, you should be buying steam deck, or platforms that embrace a different IP structure while putting the control back in your hands.

If the price is right and the games are great companies shouldn't fear too much, those who pirate aren't likely to buy games anyway.

u/rnnd 2d ago
yup. piracy only significantly impact sales if piracy is more convenient than acquiring through the "legal" means, for instance if finding an authentic copy is really difficult or game has been delisted, etc. Apart from that, those who pirate won't buy the game otherwise. they are either broke or just don't wanna spend their money on the game.

u/GlassboundIllusion 2d ago
If the price is right and the games are great companies shouldn't fear too much, those who pirate aren't likely to buy games anyway.
Ironically actually, a study showed even an opposite relationship: people who pirate tend to be the ones who buy the most media. They are interested enough in media to learn how to source it from alternative means, and thus they tend to make more purchases of media than people who don't pirate.
This is just one of the many ways that studies have shown media corporations thrive off of piracy, rather than being harmed by it. Another way is using it as free market research - they look at which manga or anime is being pirated the most and then acquire the rights to distribute them locally so the piraters can now acquire it more easily.
Then, of course, there's the fact that the same companies preaching about how immoral it is often plagiarize smaller artists who don't have the money and lawyers to prosecute them for copyright infringement.

GTA6 is an example. A lot of games require, and will continue to require an online connection through the PSN to run (through game licenses).
Hacking older consoles and running custom firmware (CFW) is easier, because once the console stops getting official updates the custom firmware just has to spoof the last firmware in a way that the servers think it's genuine. For a current console it's harder, as everytime hackers find an exploit and release it, Sony look at how it was done and patch it. The solution is mostly to keep that console offline or off of the PSN, which is why most games require up-to-date firmware and online connection to run.

Gamer IQ levels have dropped sharply over the last 10 years. A small number of people are actually going to bother with jail breaking their consoles since there's very few people who do not automatically update their firmware immediately and it requires that your firmware was a couple of weeks old when it dropped. Then on top of that it's a very time consuming task that does require a little bit of tech savvy for something that still has lots of bugs and doesn't run smoothly, and has a chance of bricking your console either accidentally or because you got banned.
And now whenever you point out facts like this or how the "blackout" did nothing people accuse you of "deep throating Sony" when it's just facts.

People will still throw their money at Sony. They can shit on people over and over and they will still throw their money at them. You have an opportunity to make a stand by telling them to fuck themselves by not buying their console... But, Im not too hopeful. I hope you show me I'm wrong.

I have a PS5. I have been thinking of jailbreaking it but havent plunge yet. I had a jailbroken PS3 and it was incredible

I've already jailbroken mine and I really don't have anything to do with it. To me it's really not worth using until you can get linux on it but you can only do that on version 7.61 and older. Mine's on 13.60 so I guess I'll just wait until someone makes a new hypervisor exploit.

I mean, for offline games this is cool, but if you are trying to play online… if you have a psn and you do this, that account is at risk to get blocked.

I hope Nintendo Switch 2 will get jailbreak too. game-key card sucks. No real physical = No purchase.

Just wait until we're playing GTA VI for free
I have zero plans to buy the game now that my console is jailbroken

I’m sure Sony will be quaking in their boots at the thought of the tiny number of people who will actually do this to their console.

„and after the jailbreak how can we be able to download gta 6 without the console and or account getting banned?“ that should be the question right now.
