He denies being responsible for a wave of cheating hacks going on PSN, adding he’s ”never played PS3 online ever.” He had ”no idea this would happen”.
”No, I’m not,” responded Hotz to his own question: ”Donate to help you, you’re the reason I can’t play Modern Warfare now…”
”I have never played PS3 online ever. Frankly I’m amazed by the apparent ease with which these cheats were created, security 101, why is the security in the client anyway?”
”I had no idea this would happen, and am in full support of the cheaters being permabanned from PSN,” he added. Sony recently let it be known that they’re hunting down any PS3 console that’s being exploited and banning them.
”By identifying PlayStation 3 systems that breach our guidelines and terminating their ability to connect to PlayStation Network, we are protecting our business and preserving the honest gameplay experiences that you expect and deserve,” stated Sony.
”Rest assured, this message does not apply to the overwhelming majority of our users who enjoy the world of entertainment PlayStation 3 has to offer without breaching the guidelines detailed above, and we urge you to continue doing so without fear.”
However it would appear the PS3 ‘mod scene’ is able to strike back.
