Why do people do this? A recent example, PS Vita Vitamin release.
>all good
>team freek announce a game dumper
>some asshole leak it
>team turns out to be the best hackers in vita scene
>they all leave the scene

Why do they care that someone leaked it?
>>56353928
They could of asked for donations for the files or maybe they wanted to be the ones to release their work
>>56353928
It was the first of it's kind and they worked like 5 hours a day for a month, no breaks.

>5 hours a day for a month, no breaks.
>>56353987
It's their word, not mine. Ask them.
>>56353973
I still don't understand why they care though. Are they mad that they're not getting credit for it?
>>56354029
Nah, it's more like the leaker leaked a non-complete, broken build.
>>56354047
That's even less reason to be mad about it.
>>56354104
No, if I understand them correctly, it actually makes some sense. Think, what if your 3 month work (1 month with 3 men, 3 month for one man) got leaked by a tester which you gave the non-complete, broken build. I'd be mad too.
>>56354133
they should have kept it to themselves if they're so afraid of leaks
>>56354192
Either that or implemented some sort of DRM for testing
>>56353860
yifan was the best hacker though. Well major tom is alright too
>>56354247
Yifan is a godly hacker but a bit /pol/ guy.
>>56354230
That kind of DRM wasn't avaible until 1-2 days ago.
>>56354262
>but a bit /pol/ guy
how so? all he did was not want to be the one to allow piracy. Sure he was autistic about it and backtracks now but henkaku source is imminent now that all thats left is phase 3
>>56354322
Not that, we had some arguments back in the day.
>>56354493
you and him? go into more detail please.
only thing worse than vidya is handheld vidya
are you 12?
>>56354514
posts like these used to get banned
>>56354504
No. Absolute proprietary to identify myself.
>>56354514
Not vidya, homebrews. Wouldn't a PS2 emu on the go be absolute perfectness?
>>56354524
>not vidya, homebrews*
>*homebrews that run vidya
>>56354524
>No. Absolute proprietary to identify myself.
are you a member in the scene or something? what would your id being known do?
>>56354569
Not exactly. I meant running PS2 homebrew on PSV. There were some godly ones.
>>56354612
absolute proprietary
Damn.
I remember when people weren't such drama queens back in the good old days. I don't know shit about hacking anything, but I always had respect for crackers, especially those in the scene. I had a friend and former classmate that was in Paradox in the PS1 days, good times...
>>56354700
Games and software didn't have DRM back in PS1 days (beginning of it at least). Good times.
>>56354700
scene became monetised thats what
