Gaming xbox one jailbreaking or rootting very soon?

[lexarvn]

As long as homebrew can be sideloaded through dev mode, no one is seriously going to bother with trying to hack the xbone. Devs have access to everything they want though dev mode already.

Not to mention that the Xbox One OS gets radically updated every year or so, so any hacks would be unlikely to survive and would force you to stay on an obsolete and crippled version.

I'm OK with Dev mode for now. When the Xbox One/S hits EoL, then I might think about a backup loader to preserve the lens/laser and my discs.

That is why my Wii, PS2, and PSP are all softmodded.

Actually there's a fall update coming that gives us access to six cores (not shared), 5GB of ram, and full DX12 GPU. It's gonna be lit.

One of the first thoughts I had after the shock of them fully opening up dev mode to be on par with retail games is how this makes a jailbreak even less likely now. No reason to try and hack the system for more resources when you already have that without any of the risks.

If you think about it Dolphin coming to Xbox One via RetriX and actually performing decently on the Xbox One is now a real possibility due to the increased resources. Dolphin is already part of libretro

Cause piracy is wrong and illegal.
Developers worked hard on those games and they deserve the money.
Doesn't matter if it's only one time or not.

I hope you never buy used games then.

A used game is already a sale, a pirated game is no sale.
I'm not here to debate used games vs piracy tho.

Neither are a sale to the company.The concept that it's a stolen sale is not something that holds water if you're perfectly okay with buying used games. It makes *you* feel nice because it's legal and accepted practice, but it's the exact same for the company as far as numbers. Same as borrowing a game from a friend.

You want to support a company? Buy new. Otherwise shush about piracy being bad for a company but used is perfectly fine. There are different, better, arguments against piracy.

Piracy is not only illegal, it's also morally wrong.

You could say the same about buying a second hand car.
That should also be shamed upon as car manufacturers don't get shit from it.
Food at the grocery store is technically also second hand.
The farmer already had his cut from the distributors buying their stock.

Saying used item sales are bad and comparing it with piracy is pointless.
A used game already has been sold once so the developers already had their share.
It reduces e-waste and allows game stores to survive as well.

Who said used games are bad besides you. XD Which is why I'm saying it's silly. don't get angry when I point it out. Say you grow your own veggies or don't buy them, or just steal half your friend's food when they cook it. the farmer really doesn't care. The store doesn't care. Their profits remain exactly the same, and are completely unaware you are even playing the game. You say it's pointless, I say it's accurate.

You buy a used game and *you* don't support the company at all. You download a game and *you* don't support the company at all. You borrow a friend's game and *you* don't support the company at all. If your argument is pirating is morally wrong because it means the company loses out on a sale, guess what. same thing happens when you just borrow or buy used. it's morally equivalent *as far as your personal relationship with the company is concerned*. Used games are equivalent to piracy as far as the "support the company!" argument goes. That is to say, perfectly fine.

 

[DinohScene]

It's not even remotely morally equivalent.
I'm doubt you even know what you're talking about.

I think you're the only one on here that thinks piracy is morally wrong.
Almost everyone with some computer knowledge pirates, it's become so common that no one even bats an eye.
Now, if you pirate a game from a small indie dev that's barely making ends meet, that's morally questionable. But pirating from a big company that won't even notice the combined difference in sales from everyone that pirates? Not so much.

Piracy is piracy and it always wrong whether it's a small studio or AAA studio. Just like theft Is theft whether you steal from a friend or from a corporate retail chain. If you wanna support a company with YOUR money then buy new. Used games are fine also because someone has already bought that game new at some point therefore contributing to the economy and the industry.

Agreed, but so many people around here turn a blind eye to piracy. But it someone stole from them, and money or a item it would then be a different story.
