    Misleading title, there's another major reason: it's an embargo agreement violation that jeopardizes Linux support on PS5.

      This sounds like LLM noobs ruined the chance of legally playing GTA6 and habe Linux support and he seems pretty frustrated about it

      &gt; I am stepping away from the ps5 scene and stopping all my work on ps5 linux. After pouring my heart and months of my life into it, including plans to finish ps5 pro support and release in 2027, it&#x27;s all down the sink.

      &gt; The scene used to be a group of highly talented researchers, but now it is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don&#x27;t even understand. Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony.

      &gt; I asked them to at least wait for GTA 6 to come out so that people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enjoy linux. They agreed to wait, but not a day passed and they decided to waste it instead.
