The other guy is bullshitting you. Sony can certainly try to take it down. They don't need to win any judgement either, just threatening the owner is often enough

Sony can absolutely change their compiler target so this doesnt work anymore. In not sure how ps tool chain is distributed, but if it supports some kind of software update, they can change this for every new game without making it much harder for actual devs

More, they can make the next version of their compiler much harder to do this. There are quite a few obfuscation techniques so this kind of translation is no longer so straightforward

Yeah I’m lowkey worried for PS6 they might figure out homomorphic encryption just to patch this shit

This. To all the people singing and shouting like this means all future PS5 and PS6 games are going to be playable on PC, for free, in perpetuity they are dillusional. If this project and others are successful Sony absolutely will use obfuscation, encryption (kernel level denuvo type stuff), and always online tactics to make this wayyy more difficult or impossible.

Technoautists sure love a challenge though. You'll always have possible PC builds leaking out of studios too.

The dude that originally leaked GTAVI used a hotel television, an Amazon Fire Stick, a smartphone, a keyboard, and a mouse to break into Rockstar.

totally agree. It's absolutely cat and mouse and enthusiasts so this for fun and to display their skills.

Still, the people saying Sony is cooked, like they are just going to keep business as usual and having their games stolen and playable on PC, don't really understand what's going to happen in response.
