    Sure, "education". Releasing exploits for software vulnerabilities has very little to do with education. The relation to piracy is clear however.

      Pirates don't usually bother hacking consoles. It's easier for them to just bypass the security on the disc drive. That's why we had "mod chips" for decades

        I mean this in the kindest possible way: Xbox 360 launched over twenty years ago; modchips on Xbox/Playstations haven't been a thing for... a good while now.

          Yes. And that's why I said "decades". Unfortunately the person replying did not realize I was speaking in a historical context
