Hacking Will FailOverflow Allow Backup Games?

[MikeTheKnight2016]

I just read this post here https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2018/shofel2/ and was wondering if this is the beginning phase of us seeing a Wii U USB Helper type app for the Switch?!

Seems like you didn't read the first 3 sentences.
"Choosing whether to release an exploit or not is a difficult choice. Given our experiences with past consoles, we’ve been wary of releasing vulnerability details or exploits for fear of them being used primarily for piracy rather than homebrew."
They are clearly against piracy (even if their exploit will allow to run pirated games in the future). They won't make a USB Helper or something similar of any kind.

Whenever failoverflow delivers, it’s not for the purpose of piracy but homebrew.
We now have an unpatchable entrypoint granting almost complete control, it is up to us (or other developers) what to make of it.

Sorry - I should have elaborated more. I realize that failoverflow is not interested in the piracy scene, but was unclear if this was opening the door and laying the groundwork for a different dev to come in and create.

Hah - yes this was the info I was after! It potentially gives a dev the ability to create one (I read that failoverflow is strictly after homebrew)

If there's no software solutions, Team Xecuter is going to make a lot of money. We can't allow that here.

fail0verflow already delivered their own implementation of fusée gelée, a 3D model for a joy con rail adapter and linux for switch. I think that they delivered pretty much.

There will be a software solution sooner or later.

I know they did, I merely meant to say that whenever they do, it’s not for the purpose of piracy.
Perhaps I should have phrased it better.
