Sony's getting pretty serious about all the piracy. It's a bit scary.

I know the times are hard and we, as gamers, want to play games. But to rip-off someone else's work is DISHONEST. If everyone does it, why should the developers even try if they're not making any more. Spam me, but if you steal and hack someone's work for your own personal goal, go find another hobby. We don't want you.

Pirating is a big problem down the road and the only thing that will stop it is Gamefly.com and other subscription based services that make it cheap and easy to play games. I mean lets face it, Modding is work and pirate games often have bugs or viruses piggy backing off them. Personally I feel that now is the time for console makers to ditch optical media and solid state media and simply use downloading or better yet streaming. Then you buy your system and pay a monthly fee and have access to every game in their library. The publishers get their money based on play count of a game or from direct downloads. I don't know why we still have to deal with actual disc's and carts.

The other option is to offer either ad based or demo versions of games for free with the option to pay for the game to skip the ads or get the full version.

Either way the publishers make their money and pirates become less needed. I just hope that if I ever publish anything for money that anyone that pirates my work will later pay for a copy of it to show the love if they enjoyed it.

I was into modding systems to be able to play imports, but since it's not an issue now I don't bother. Plus online play made me think something like this would happen sooner or later.

But when people put that much time into hacking just to cheat through a game I think it's pathetic. If you aren't good out a game so what it's a fucking game. Why mess up the experience for other people.

As far as stealing the games I don't see why people are ok with stealing games, it's no different than everything else, it's stealing.

@ aragrist I don't really want download only just beacuse we still have issues with data loss and hardware malfunctions and you would lose your games at some point. And the monthly fee idea would be better at the right price if it was a system fee and not game by game. I guess at some point they will sell it as going green and we'll have to get used to it.

The download only option has been around since iTunes and as some one who has lost my entire library I have to say it works out great. iTunes simply let me redownload my lost files for free since they already have a record of me owning the files. What sucked was all the stuff I loaded from CD's that I tossed or gave away after loading them.

We are moving to a cloud based backup world this decade. Everything we use will be backed on a cloud server somewhere and access to those files will be available to us anywhere at anytime. Game companies should see this coming and get ready for it. I predict a massive upheaval of the gaming industry in the next 3 years. We should all prepare for change.

I do think it's funny that Sony had some systems seized over a blu ray dispute with LG though. I guess everyone is in the cross hairs sooner or later.

@kof2012 people are hacking their own systems to bootleg games and movies, but other people may want in to get your credit card info, passwords, and to steal stuff you paid to download.
