Why does sony not force firmware updates

[Xythil]

Wouldn't this stop all piracy and homebrew?
Not that I would want this, love my CFW but it would help them with the piracy issue.

Just build into each game an auto patcher. The minute you stick the game in it updates. Problem solved.

So why don't they do this

[carp]

because Sony doesnt make the games.
stupid thread.

[Geek]

they do force them they build them in new games and you can't play unless you updat

[xavis]

becouse not every game has a lator firmware, many games have lower firmware so it would be dificult to do

You can decrease piracy by UMD-less releases of game.That would make it difficult to pirate.
Sucks to be honest.

Then it will turn into like the iPhone ppl will crack them then put them on the net

What sony have gotta do is make a decent fw update for once, DA makes a cfw of it and a) sony pays him to not implement ISO support or b) DA doesn't implement it himself

And DA makes it non-Downgradeable somehow
Knowing him he can. He's like the psp counterpart to fricken Sephen Hawking or whoever it is

Honestly, knowing Sony, they would have tried something like this.
Also, there would be people who simply don't buy games because of the autoupdate. Wouldn't that just be great for business?
Then, on top of all that, it would be pointless. You could simply create custom firmware that blocks the running of such an application. Just cancel any initial operation, or remove it entirely.

Or just do what sony/other developers are doing. Getting ready to drop the psp like a stone as later in this year they will release the PSP2 and that will probably have the same anti piracy tech inside as the ps3 rendering hacking/piracy obsolete........

piracy will live on forever, just be harder to work around. no one can stop it for good
