Hacking Feeling conflicted about Wii U dumps

34? Is that in place of a 72?

No more unsavory then the bottles of piss for excuses the apologists expect us to drink.

Check your PM

Or maybe the 31 they gave it to are people with... you know, character? People who can keep secrets and hold trust.

I know this concept is foreign to you, but you must try to understand that these kinds of people actually do exist!

Don't forget there are also people who don't like to release things on the scene because they don't want to deal with the rampart drama that invariably follows discoveries and leaks like these

Hence why I was asking why they even bothered to announce it. Is there anything wrong in wondering why it was announced?

Because they totally went and posted the threads about it here on GBATemp.

Oh wait, no they didn't. Other people are finding out and making the announcements, not them.

What are you even talking about? The only things that failoverflow showed publicly was a wiiu compatible version of HBC (which was released several months ago) and some hashes. Hashes != code. There was never any announcement of "HBCU - coming soon!" or even any confirmation of being able to run their own code. If you're making the assumption that posting hashes somehow implies a fully working, permanent, safe, easy to install system modification then that just shows how overblown your sense of entitlement is.

No, I was talking about what Marcan said in his recent IRC, unless that's the same thing.

No wonder I got confused

That makes helluva lot more sense, not sure where I saw that "announcement" though, probably some random member posted it and from there I assumed-- well you get the idea

That's another one of the main problems. You and other users see any news about hacks at all, and assume that it's the people behind it making an announcement, and in your mind that constitutes a promise.

Exactly, I admit it. I take something and blow it way out of proportion. If something big happens to the Wii U hack scene, it would be on the front page.

Instead we have to post articles like "Hey guys I don't know why you've been thinking things out of thin air, here's what's actually being said".

*Sigh* yeah pretty much

Boy, today was certainly a full-filled day wasn't it? I sure made it all better didn't it?!

The only thing f0f has really done is said basically this "hey guys we've had some fun tinkering with the wii u" and that really is all the information that they have given the average user
