You know, I actually agree with you. I completely moved from PC online gaming to PS3 online gaming after being "pwned" by obvious hacks.

Even if motifs of GeoHotz & Co. were clear, some people will use his achievement for shady purposes; such is the human nature. It is like opening someone's house and inviting people to come in and do some enthusiastic home improvements, pretending that no one will enter do steal or do damage... now THAT idealistic even GeoH. cannot be.

Much as I am concerned, I got my PS3 to play games in the safe environment and see BR movie once in a while. I didn't buy it to do EVERYTHING I can think of. If I wanted that sort of tool, I'd buy a PC. Or a Swiss Army Knife.

At the end of the day, GeoH. & Co should know that with great powers, comes great responsibility. ;)

I bought a car to get to and from work. Some people use cars to rob banks. My brother has several guns for hunting. Some people kill other people with guns. Just because some people misuse something doesn't mean that thing shouldn't be sold/allowed. People will always misuse things.

I'm not sure I'm following you. People who use cars/hunting rifles/... for non-intended/criminal/... activities, in general, get prosecuted. Even if they have purchased that car or rifle and own it and can do with it whatever they want... right?

So what makes people who use consoles for non-intended purposes any different? Especially if, by doing that, they can hurt me in some ways (like in ruining my on-line gaming)..?
