Atmosphere has done a lot, specifically booting into Horizon with patches applied. Without that we'd be SOL. Though, to an extent I can agree. This morality shit on a console hacking scene is just pathetic. I cannot side with someone with that type of attitude.
Yep, do whatcha want. However, don't expect to be happy when you've contributed many hours online to unexpectedly have your console banned the next day for running unsigned software. I'm interested in being able to do what I want with the console I spent a lot of money on, I don't give a flying fuck about some proprietary servers that'll be locked behind a paywall in a matter of months.
