Valve Unfazed by PS3 Hacks

I've been thinking that for a while now. They own the Left 4 Dead IP so there's nothing that's keeping them from bringing it to the PS3. We already have the God of War collection, the Team Ico collection, and the Sly collection. Why not a Left 4 Dead collection? Fortunately the people at Valve have already acknowledged the possibility of Left 4 Dead on the PS3. My guess is they are waiting to see how things go with Portal 2 first before making any decisions on that.Joseph375 said:

I recommend a thorough read of that article. The most succinct quote therein:
P.S.: What is this "jig" you refer to on the 360? The closest thing I can think of is a JTAG hack.
Whoever wanted to buy MW or MW2 on the PS3 to play it has already done it. These aren't lost sales or anything, it's basically... nothing. Hell, people who pirate those two games at this time might even be potential buyers in the future. The hackers who get their hands on such games now were planning to do so anyway, I don't see where the big panic is.
The problem is only going to be apparent with new games that come out, obviously. If anything, they should panic about MW25 and Black Ops 452.
As for actual hackers in multiplayer, this is what dedicated servers are for. Period.

I don't think it is, nor should it be. Modes, you know, are an entirely different species as far as I'm concerned.Ghengis John said:
Knowing Valve {which we don't} they're probably making the game run off an internal emulator for a different proprietary operating system than the console.
In this case it looks like the anonymous people can back themselves up. If you have any actual evidence to the contrary, I'd certainly like to see it (hell, just explain on a technical level what's wrong with the assertions in the article).nipsen said:
At any rate, GeoHot's 3.55 is available, letting people run homebrew (and I know of at least one PS3 game backup that's running in conjunction with that). I mean, simply on the basis that this is a software-only hack, it's already more accessible than achieving the same result on the 360.
Also, I still really want to know what this "jig" hack for the 360 is.
Yes. Everyone search for "JTAG" on google. Happy?
And no - again, they're simply assuming, and stating things very generally that doesn't actually involve the things they insist on. Typical DF, it's what they always do. In this case, it's equating "running backups" with "being able to do anything". They're not the same.

Chalk one up to Steamworks!!!! This is why I absolutely love Steam, among many other ones as well.
Is it does me, or does this sound like a challenge? When people say "unhackable," or "this doesn't affect us," that's when all the hackers come out of the woodwork, right?
BUT I WANT THEM TO BE OUR SUPREME OVERLORDS!!!!! THEY SAID THEY'D GIVE US FREE COOKIES.bladester1 said:
Normally this would be true, but I know many people and have heard dozens of stories of people who used to Pirate Games actually find out they Love Steam so much they actually Quit pirating the games and end up not only buying all their games off of Steam they also end up buying all the games they pirated as well because they feel bad about doing it.Andy of Comix Inc said:
Besides I've seen and heard of Steam hacks, but none of them are any good.
No, no, Steamworks is coming to PS3. The achievements, dedicated server, and friendslist backend. Not "Steam," the program itself. Besides, Steam "hacks" often manifest themselves as multiplayer cheats - which is disrupted by the VAC system - unless the server is VAC-disabled, often a private server, which Portal 2 will most likely use because it's only 2-player co-op...Trmptplyr_07 said:
Really? So far, it's the best I've ever seen.Irridium said:
I don't remember the last time I encountered a hacker on a TF2, DOD:S or CS:S server. I mean, there's basically two layers of security: VAC itself and the people administering each individual server. It's possible to get past VAC, it's not as easy getting past an Admin.
I can't say the same for PunkBuster. It's a piece of crap.
I can definitely see Sony adopting Valves techniques and methods in order to protect their games. And to think that Valve and Sony were once on poor terms. Now it looks like Valve may very well turn out to be one of the best friends Sony has. The irony is quite delicious.
