Microsoft is Banning 360 Firmware Modders

After several months of silence it was more or less accepted that Microsoft wasn?t going to do anything about the firmware hacks that allow Xbox 360s to play backups.
Rather surprising, considering the ?inventor? of the hack confirmed in March already that the mods are easily detectable, and the reports that piracy is running rampant in countries like China. It appears that Microsoft is finally taking action against them though, although they may be hitting the wrong persons.

How is this rubbish? Why put out a good product when you cant make money doing it! Lets teach everyone to pirate and see how little is researched and devolped in the next 10 years. Not that we would know the difference of what could have been. Remember when Valve (counterstrike i believe) banned thousands of people for having counterfit game copys...and all those people swore they had the legit game. Well valve proved them wrong. |
