Its no point in sueing a 14 year old anyway, or anyone who most likely can never pay $ for their "crimes".

Well either way nobody got sued, that's a good thing in this story. However if this was sony that would be a another story.

[Xenogears V]

Yeah, yeah.

I know its old but still funny.

After Geohot’s tweet about making a Windows Phone 7 jailbreak, Microsoft was actually willing to give Geohot a Windows Phone. Here’s the tweet from Microsoft: “#geohot if you want to build cool stuff on #wp7, send me email and the team will give you a phone – let dev creativity flourish #wp7dev”.

Microsoft is a trip if nothing else. At the time when sony wanted geohots head on a stick. Microsoft wanted to give him a free phone. I wonder if he ever emailed them?

Yeah I don't think ms is going to be handing out applications to anybody that does a glitch in call of duty... for what I hear the entire game is one big glitch. Seriously though, IF the hack was something more sophisticated I don't doubt ms would reach out to the person, or at the very least try to figure out how it happened, and stop it on the technical level... as opposed to some other company who shall remain nameless.

[HyperG]

If you come off ignorant then of course they will not want to work with anyone... anyone intelligent in breaking programs to doing what you shouldn't is always a benefit for a company to have.

Have we all forgotten hacker history with MS?! The Xbox 1 alone...

even if it was true, theres a BIG difference in hacking a game not owend by MS and someone hacking MS software, like sony did with hackers hacking its FW.

the fact is that hackers was hacking the fw and releasing it to the public, the fact that sony kept blocking the hacks and the hackers kept hacking, end of the day its sonys company if they choose to stop hackers through courts thats upto them.

the only people who has a problem with this are the fanboys who love to hate sony regardless and those who hate sony because theyre blocking the hacks.

end of the day i have a ps3 with cfw because i choose to have it, but i dont cry because sony do not want to support it. why should they.
