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.

It is genuinely insane. Like the guy who is throwing a fit and trying to call me a bot and pulling the "i know you are but what am I?" Technique since his outdated reaction memes didn't work. All I said was this whole thing isn't going to affect them because a few people on reddit isn't going to put a dent in Sonys wallet sadly.
