I despise when folks assume that homebrew and piracy ALWAYS go together.
I'm don't put it together.
It's just, people like to get games for free (piracy) but they forget they are making the owners lose money. If they lose money they aren't able to develop games/make exclusive games to make the platform profit. They don't make games, people don't buy console, they cancel the project.
Then people go like "Oh sh**, i paid 500€ for my ps3 and they f***ing shut down!", guess what if you didnt get pirate games, you would be helping to continue with PS3.
I got most of my games for ~15€, that's really not much for games these days, when you think a game comes out for 70€.
