well dust is free so it shouldn't affect it?

micro transactions only if you choose. You can purchase items with ISK. right?

Again?

So you mean now a PS3 is finally again a bit closer to a (fairly weak) PC ?
I don't really see what the big fuss is about.
I mean, other than this hopefully accelerating plans for Sony to finally release the damn PS4 (and do a better job at securing their own firmware this time, or at least lowering the time between PS version releases).

P.S. Then again, why do I care ? I never owned any console, just PCs. Oh, wait, I remembered why - because ancient console hardware is keeping most PC game development behind. About damn time somebody kicked the big corp's nads into hurrying up with the cashcow milking.

P.P.S. Games relying on remote servers to operate at all are only affected if the servers are compromised. Personally, I'm all for sub-based and actually prefer freemium games instead anyway. You can't hack/crack those unless you either hack/crack the servers, or if you create a server emulator (but that only makes you play in a tiny alternate universe corner, so, meh, who cares, no thanks). If anything, THAT is the future of gaming, and THAT is what most game companies should focus on.
That, and cheap, reliable internet access for the entire globe,but that's not something game companies do, but they sure as heck can lobby for.

Sony is really bad at security.

That's still not news though, that's a well-established and evidenced fact.

bring pirate crap to your overseas trip, never worry about being online ever XD, thats the only real solution for you being 8 months in the sea.

If it becomes less popular to people who hack, are we really losing anything by losing them?

Answer is no, in case you hadn't guessed.

Also: No hacking my Dust please. It already gives me the impression that people are using aimbots*, (and I'm not sure they aren't), and I'd rather not have real ones, assuming they aren't already there.

I have yet to interface fully with my controller, (not sure I ever will), though, so it could just be me. Sadly, I have trouble pin-pointing a target that is doing anything other than walking in a straight line or standing still. Floppy paddle problem.

oops.. too far

..no.. not quite enough..

..quit moving you freakin' parasite.

Problem common to all console FPS using a controller afaik. Dancing monkeys are hard to hit. Fact is though, I run, jump, strafe, and generally get shot like I'm standing still by some players. Other players have as much fun hitting me as I do them, and sometimes they're just good.

Watching somebody facing 90 degrees to you with a sniper rifle while drawing a bead on them and having them turn 90 with an assault rifle, fire, and kill you in one shot makes you wonder though. Especially when it happen in less than a second and you are 500 yards off.

That would be weird in any game, and most people would have 'hack' as their first thought if it happened to them. Only ever happened once that I recall, but not likely to forget it either.

I keep thinking I need a Move or whatever it's called, and have considered my keyboard and mouse more than a few times, but I'm either hesitating to spend the money, (not cheap), or unwilling to use a wired keyboard and mouse on a coffee table to play a game. Also, cameras on PC/Console bother me.

Correct me if i am wrong, but wasn't the xbox 360 already hacked not long after its release? Out of all game consules, the ps3 was the most difficult to hack. It is a miracle that it is only now (after 6 years) they finaly managed to hack it.
