Oct 14, 2014 at 5:02 | comment | added | LateralFractal | XBoxes and PlayStations are closed ecologies which lock their operating system to the hardware bootloader. Standard desktop PCs are sold to a different audience and do not include hardware locks. Attempts to introduce "secure computing" to IBM PCs have been rejected by customers as anticompetitive and paternalistic. Modern PC games for publishers that worry about piracy have opted to shift some or all of their game logic to the server-side, which is beyond the control of pirates. | |
