>So you don't agree with this decision by Sony?
The decision less so as much as the handling of it. Sony is a company that apparently has no concept of the word "tact". Any entertainment company out there would patch holes as they're found. Sony does it, Nintendo does it, Microsoft does it.
Sony acting like complete screeching dicks every time, is the difference. The Geohot thing was the final straw for me.
>Basically you would be happy if Sony were complicit in allowing vulnerabilities to exist and be exploited on their platform.
A "vulnerability" on a game platform is a sight different than a vulnerability on anything else. So in this instance, yes. I'd wish they'd let it alone. What are the implications? People who are going to pirate and break the DRM anyways continue to break the DRM, Sony focuses their efforts on improving their content and software, and nobody else (i.e. the average consumer) is the wiser? Seems fine to me.
>If you want open hardware buy something that supports it.
No. I will do what I wish with any hardware I purchase. Until such time as Sony grows up a little bit, they remain on my "do not buy from, ever, no way" list.
