      Cheating online is gonna be extremely easy since you can just run a cheat program as legitimate software.

      That could snowball into people not buying any big competitive game on ps5 anymore.

        Eh. Nintendo’s been bumfucked like this for the majority of the Switch lifespan. detecting and banning modded consoles is a cat and mouse game that favors the cat. Piracy favors the mouse, because piracy happens in your home on your hardware. Online play is you trying to play ball in Sony’s court.

        Softmodded consoles probably won’t even be able to play online, let alone cheat online.

        Ah ok. In my mind, sony wanted to sell consoles and a console in can hack is more interesting to me than before.

        They are basically just computers now, I wasn’t getting why it was such a big deal.
