All these news releases lately are cryptic to avoid blame. PS3 reversed engineering involved huge legal battles. Reread the news articles past few weeks and it's a huge riddle. So many people coming out of nowhere with a piece of puzzle to a master plan.
Also think about it. These mysterious riddles involve it's not an exploit, not this or that. but a "METHOD"... method to install Custom Firmware possibly? Being teased about Method to play Games???
And all this time PS4 scene was not dead after all but in development for CFW. Just my speculation, and all these homebrew tools. It sounds like foundation all coming out to prepare for launch of CFW.
Amazing masterminds at work.
