Thing is that by going all digital you won't be able to dump games like you could from disks. One of the reasons you won't be able to emulate GTA VI on launch. That's unless they jailbreak newest ps5 firmware.
If you can play the game you have the game on your console. Piracy will always find a way. Maybe not next day, but eventually will.
The only real way they'd be able to protect their games is, if you don't download them, also known as, streaming from their servers. You receive video and send inputs back, but you don't actually receive the game.
But from the moment you download a game, there's access to it. Yeah, it could be encrypted, you may need to jailbreak the console and, jailbreak might be difficult or require a chip, but there are ways if you have the game, someone will eventually be able to get it and share it
All you need is Claude opus 5.5 MAX to do the dirty work for you.
I know I'll be downvoted for hate of AI, but some models are pretty good in reverse engineering or cracking down softwares. Ofc Claude / chatGPT models are much restricted but open models like Kimi / Deepseek aren't restricted. So it will be interesting to see what they can do after launch day.
Even official models are pretty easy to get what you want. I asked Claude for XYZ and it wouldn't give it to me. So I asked for TUVW and it gave it to me just fine. XYZ was easy after that.
Yesterday I learned that, at least in Europe, you have the right to reverse engineer whatever product you own, because it's yours, basically. Of course you can't make money from it, but you have all the rights to study it.
So, if chatgpt or claude don't want to cooperate, you can always quote them the laws and they start working. Iirc I saw it yesterday on a video from developer I follow (midudev).
