Poll: Should Private PS4 GameSharing Methods Become Public?

Every now and then we poll what members think about various discussion topics, with the last asking your feedback on whether you'd support PS4 dongles or not if someone came out with one.

In today's poll we'd like you to share your opinion on whether one of the rumored Brazilian methods used by online sites and local shops to fill PS4 HDD's full of games should remain private, or if the method should become public with a guide / tutorial documentation for the PlayStation 4 scene.

Before casting your vote, here are a few pros and cons to consider:

Pros:

• Everyone would be able to try it and learn at least one method how mass PS4 gamesharing is currently being done
  
  
• The PS4 gamesharing method exploits Sony's PSN online account security, meaning it wouldn't burn a kernel exploit that may be valuable to developers working on Linux as most aren't interested in backups
  
  
• It would slow down or stop online sites and local shops from making money transferring PS4 games to someone's HDD or selling pre-loaded hard disk drives

Cons:

• If the method went public there would likely be an increase in backups on the PlayStation 4 console
  
  
• Sony would protect their business interests as they have with all the PSP / PS Vita / PS3 / PS4 Firmware exploits and inevitably patch the method through increased PSN account security, mandatory SMS verification or the necessary online changes to their PlayStation 4 activation / deactivation and primary / secondary system
  
  
• Once patched, the gamesharing method would no longer work for anyone including end-users and those making money from it (or planning to based on recent Russian videos - Part 1 and Part 2) online and at shops unless a new method or work-around was shared

Maybe a little spoiler, but is this guide you posted the other day part of the method used to transfer PS4 games faster in 1 day vs 2-3 days like some shops take?

Yep surely
I already set fire on my private methodes you see

But you had fun learning, graduated from PS4 GameSharing Academy and now are willing to share what you've learned with the community for free, while others sell the method or charge people to do it privately for their own gain.

I invest 8+ hours a day here 365 days a year, make $2-3/day from ads only (~$90/month) due to everyone using adblockers and ads only showing to guests not logged in.

Point being I do this for fun with little in return these days, so when someone like you gives back it means more to me than most here will ever know.

well there will be no release for sure if we make polls saying should these be public at the end of the day we did not find these exploits so its not our choice to release them

Not Trying to be rude psxhax

@devi0us learned it on his own, so it's his decision what he wants to do with what he learned of course. If I learned something nobody but me would decide what I can do with that knowledge, that's like going to college to be an accountant because you like working with numbers and a relative telling you they want you to become an artist or musician instead

The poll is just a survey tool to see what members opinions are on this topic, they won't ultimately determine his decision either way... the poll may end up showing people want it released publicly and he will decide not to, or it should be kept private and he'll release what he wants anyway.

i emerged from the shadows to say that this method should NOT be made public but remain private BUT if there is a way to share the knowledge and keep it amongst ourselves so it can remain private from the public eye then im all for it. that way sony cant patch it and these mod shop workers can continue there hustle. so if we can all learn it and keep our mouth shut and enjoy it till a CFW finally comes out then by all means but if not then dont share a thing.

Why not let the 3.55 users get it so they can play something? Worth the update to play new stuff and will stay on 4.50 to stay offline. Oh yeah, that's right, ppl can not be trusted with good information.

 

[Foe]

No keep it private for sure. DO NOT RISK IT FOR THE BISCUIT ITS NOT WORTH IT THIS TIME AROUND.
