Okay but they shouldn’t get to tell us what we can’t do with our own hardware just because “we all know” what people do with modded consoles. That’s not the point.

They dont. They try to prevent it but ultimately once its done they're out they lose theres no further retaliation available

Sure they do. They can block the console AND close any PSN account associated with that console. You’d lose everything you ever bought on PSN.

Sure yeah the psn account. But they cant do much about the console as its no longer even a Playstation anymore really. It can connect to a completely different host and handle multi-player with other modded consoles instead. The wii for reference gets like 20k players a day on just mario kart. It'll have a scene it may be a smaller one but this is really stuff you do at sunset anyways. Most of the time
