I don’t blame them as much for that one. It’s a bad look, but the PS3’s architecture was such that they could be used to make a cheap supercomputer and they were being sold at a fairly significant loss.
The cheapest way to build a supercomputer was to have a bot farm buying a bunch of PS3s, and don’t wouldn’t be able to recoup the losses through software sales.
They should have just sold the ability to unlock OtherOS for “X” dollars to offset the loss.
Yeah, but then you get into the “so, do I actually OWN my own hardware, or don’t I?” debate
Also, the fact that they disabled it AFTER it being a selling point they advertised, for people who ALREADY bought them, without a way to revert
Anyway… Yeah, I don’t take that as an adequate excuse. You sell the hardware, you no longer own it, so stop breaking it or forcing people to use it a certain way.
