News Capcom: "PSN downtime costing us hundreds of thousands"

That's the thing. That only applies to the law abiding portion of the population. If there something of value to be had, you can be sure that eventually someone less law abiding will try to get at it. That's why we have locks and doors and stuff like that.

But really, no firewalls and obsolete and unpatched software? They might as well have rolled out a digital red carpet.

 

What doesn't help is Capcoms' agressive DRM scheme of always having to be online. People can happily play single player games from other devs without PSN access.

Proven to be complete and utter bull though.

 

Haha, Capcom's crappy onways on DRM (even for single player) has now come back to bite them in the ass. You know who is still enjoying the games Capcom with the PSN down? Yep its the pirates, nice one Capcom, way to stick it to the paying customer!
