Hacking Why is every major dev of the Switch scene pissed about Xecuter's work?

[blinkzane]

Any proof they've stolen work prior?

It's not whether they stole the work or not, its that they pretty much proved all their work to be useless. They went and took all the attention away from their work and now nobody is going to care when they can just buy a cart or mod.

Your argument changed.. Hm...

Also, that's wrong. When a free method to obtain Gateway-esque functionality on 3ds came the flashcard market died.

let me rephrase. "its like they set aside all the work they did and said "hey this is our thing and it works on any firmware"" go figure they made a reference to the recent conference.

Same with the OG Wii right? Didn’t Letterbomb kill the modchip market?

No one tries before buying. Piracy is piracy. Stop trying to make it look like something else

i pirate (a lot) and buy any game that i have played and want to see a sequel (/continuation of the series) for despite being pirated, rented, borrowed, or otherwise obtained . . . nice assumption though

Not even letterbomb. The Brawl entry point, Indiana pwns and some others too.

Why not advertise an item like this after the conference? I don't see them stepping on toes. As you can't say they're competing for anything. Ones a paid method, the other is free.

No, they didn't. Xecuter isn't new.

The way I see this, Xecuter's market is everyone above FW 3.0.0 or that is looking for piracy. They are going to charge money because they know that is the majority.

qlutoo & co's market is everyone 3.0.0 and below. This is better for them, actually. Everybody that wants piracy is going to be in the Xecuter community, which in turn will be the most cancerous community (because of "free games") while their community will be people who are primarily interested in homebrew and the development of it.

Of course, qlutoo & co's market will go down in numbers even after Xecuter's release, and they eventually might just switch over themselves if it is reliable enough for their own needs.

There should be no jealousy. All I see is the majority of users being those who updated, calling out qlutoo & co because they didn't support them, which they couldn't have done because of exploit limitations; and the minority who didn't update calling out Team Xecuter for stealing work, which they couldn't do in a 5 day timeframe.

They saw a cash grab. Oo

A cash grab implies that it's a shit product. These guys did their research and cracked the switch wide open. They deserve the money

More like it was Waninkoko that started the spread of piracy via software.

Just to clarify.

Do you really think people are going to stay on 3.0.0 when they can update with hardmod?

Again, you're misunderstanding here. I'm actually for their product. Doesn't change the fact they'll make easy money off of it.. Or.. A cash grab..

They're just pissed because people are no longer forced to buy a second exploitable Switch that's on > 3.0.0

 

[Deleted User]

Yes. Nobody knows how stable it will be, nobody knows if it will get them banned or bricked later on in the life cycle, and once it is out, who is to say that it will be available for an affordable price?
Besides, personally, if I was on 3.0.0 I would stay on it because then I know something will work because I have gotten so much information from the devs.

competition to get us cfw

This is why I generally hate hedgeberg (and I really don't care if he knows that). As a dev and a brain, he is incredible. But as a person? Nah.

They are salty and the sheer attitude of that twitter post proves it.

Why wasn't this obvious?

So you're pretty much telling us devs are telling those on 4.x.x to go f**k themselves? Sure sounds like it to me. They just sound pissed because someone found a way to get around lack of exploitable firmware.

A lot devs are like that I noticed.
