This is Sony though, they care so much about playstation customers they even went to the effort of updating the ps3 firmware in March this year to improve things for their customers.

I mean it would be crazy to suggest they would do that for a console they discontinued a decade ago just to try and fuck with people who have the temerity to run custom firmware on hardware they bought and paid for 20 years ago…

Sony business logic is fucked.

The updates were for the BluRay licenses they do it on a schedule. You can easily still play online even with pirated games

Sony doesn’t care about what you do on your PS3. You can literally play online and earn trophies with pirated games without getting banned.

Do they still make money of it or was the security hole easy enough to fix, that they paid a few engineer hours from pocket money, just for the fuck you?

  Per the patch notes: www.playstation.com/en-gb/…/system-software/
  
  “By updating, you can enjoy additional features, improved usability, and enhanced security.
  
  Please note, to play Blu-ray discs, your PS3 system needs a renewed Blu-ray player encryption key. Please update your PS3 system software to the latest version to renew the Blu-ray player encryption key.”
  
  I havent actually tried to watch a bluray on custom firmware since, but I’m a weirdo who uses it for playing games so that doesnt matter to me.
  
  I dont see any money being made on the ps3
