remember the release video, people saw the games available to load? well, I think a lot of us noticed cubic ninja there. Of all games they could have had, Cubic Ninja was sitting there.
Now I was looking at their ssb4 release video, and there it was! Gateway was also blocked simultaneously with NINJHAX, so I think everyone was correct in assuming sspwn was a similar exploit, and also, smea may have been limiting use so that we can't simply softmod to pirate games!
See, you got Gateway are never going to concede that this another way because profits their profits are fucked if a softmod is released, and smea won't release full capability, because he is against piracy.
See, you got
smea who says they're your friends, but in real life they your enemies
And then you got some motherfuckers that say they your
Pirate buddies,
But in real life they eyes is on your money
See,
smea will say he's true
But in real life
smea will be the one of the snitches
It's a dirty game, y'all
Y'all gotta be careful about who you fuck with and who you don't fuck with
Cause the shit get wild, y'all
Keep your mind on your riches, baby
Keep your mind on your riches"
yes, I totally just cring-fested 2pac lyrics

absolutly had to lol.

Smea had the exploit almost prep`d at that point, and confirmed Cubic Ninja was the exploit before then.
that's my idea. Could be off, but it can't be a coincidence that they were patched at the same time.
Maybe if someone smart looked into the cubic ninja exploit, he'd figure it out.
