Well said points for the most part
But you can mod a console. Just within the realm of rules Sony has set (which doesn’t include cheating, which is who they would target first and foremost), not unlike my reference for vehicles and behaviour on the road. You just can’t mod your car and do what you want on the road as you please. Not all rules are made to prevent endangering lives. The rules of driving are not only about not endangering lives, but also so that people can also enjoy their experience without having people causing chaos because they just want to do whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want
In any case none of this really applies to me because I never play online multiplayer games. But if I did and I’d go in a battle with a dude who’s modified things and get themselves an ax, while I play by the rules and fight barehanded (just an example, I’m sure you get that), you bet your ass I’m gonna be pissed. And dead/gone.
Right; we're on there same page of screw cheaters and such.
Just because some people use turbo to out run the police does not make putting turbos in your car illegal
I also can't think of a traffic law that doesn't have to do with safety because then it would literally be an arbitrary law that would there for no reason; that law would likely get redacted. Its a part of the law making process that they go over laws that are either old or nonapplicable
Yes, SONY has a rule set, but Sony could also be making a rule set that contradicts law
Just because some company has a Terms of Service doesn't make it legal; a Terms of Service can say you have to get an abortion for the rest of your life and it wouldn't mean shit, right?
Sony can do whatever they want in their ball park, but when I purchase something, that something is in MY ball park.
They can ban me from their services if they want, but they will NOT brick my console
Why the hell would you defend brick code in any way shape or form?
