I mean if we are going to be honest most people who do jailbreak/mod their system do it to pirate games. Piracy is probably one of the main reasons why people jailbreak I mean sure homebrew and etc..etc.. but most people are not going to give up playing online just to play games from 20 years ago or use some apps when they can use apps on other devices that can give better performance. I get what you are saying but I also get what the other guy is saying too, I agree with the other guy more what he gave to Sony is worth more than $10,000. I'm pretty sure SXOS made more than $10,000.
YES I do agree with you of some people feel entitled for a jailbreak but I prefer that you charge me for the jailbreak and get the job done efficiently. (Some people will hate me for this) But none of the scenes were efficient when it came to releasing jailbreaks because of the ongoing cat and mouse game they played. I rather receive a jailbreak at EOL knowing that it will be efficient versus getting the jailbreak at mid life of a system just to be locked out of future games or online. Half these guys release a jailbreak for their 5 minutes of fame but that jailbreak could have been effective at the EOL. I mean constantly jumping from CFW to CFW is NOT EFFICIENT.
At EOL everyone wins because Sony/Nintendo has moved on to the newer console and they are not even making the older console. You wouldn't be under pressure (I mean they will be upset) but not as upset but again that's my 2 cents. The Flow could have teamed up with SXOS (same guys who made Trueblue dongle in the PS3 scene) and could have easily made $250K. Sony is a billion dollar company they gave him table scraps when that jailbreak is much more.
Some people will disagree for paying for jailbreaks but I digress pay people for their time because if not they will just take the table scraps from a company. The Fl0w was IN NEED of those $10,000 and he took it. Most these guys work for free so to him it's $10,000 more in his pocket versus the 10,000 people complaining to him and not even giving him a dollar so I understand both sides.
