The scene is inextricably ruined.
PERIOD.
Too many people know now. Anyone can pay $20 to get their drives flashed.
I remember the days when a hacked console or phone was the refuge for those of us who were smart enough to hack it and bold enough to break the societal norm.
By making things easier and more accessible and idiots hacking for pay we have ruined the scene.
CONGRATS.
I completely agree. It seems as time goes on with this, the scene deteriorates more and more. It's not good, I still can't understand why everyone is so up in arms over the whole thing. What's done is done, it can't be taken back and steps were made to make things right and now everyone is disrespecting those who are most important to the scene. What will happen when they give up? It's hard to keep working on something when you release it (or in this case, discuss the release of it) and half the people seem to think that they DESERVE it, as if it is some sort of right. I am glad to see alot of people thanking those behind this, but it makes me sad to see all the people who still disrespect them.
Let it go, or the scene will be gone.
Thanks TJ for everything.
Live long and prosper. (Had to do it
