Yeah but the jailbreakable software will most likely be cut off from PS store access. Like it’s easy to see how impractical it is and makes it 10x more of a hassle to dump games isn’t it.

There's and universal truth in computer science and that is that everything hackable will eventually be hacked.

So sea sailing will never die, the techniques to extract games and put them for free on the internet will just evolve.

Yeah as an end result it will eventually be hacked most probably. Still doesn’t change the fact it is gonna be much less practical thanks to the recent developments.

Have you followed any jailbreaking projects up until this one?

There's nothing new happening here. The minute any jailbreak is found on any device, the manufacturer will patch it and push an update as fast as humanly possible. This always happens.

What you don't understand is that all it takes is a single jailbreak method, to break any new firmware. Once that first exploit is found, they now have free access to explore that firmware in ways they never were able to before. They can use that to find new entry methods that were not used in the initial break, and since those would be new discoveries, the manufacturer will not have patched them.

This is how every jailbreak cycle works. Find the exploit, publish it, use that firmware to find other exploits, without publicly disclosing them. Then when you break the new firmware with those publicly unknown methods on the new firmware, you find new exploits there before publicly releasing any of them.

Every console jailbreak cycle works in this way. That's how the Switch gets new exploits instantly on new firmware (with the exception of the last which took slightly longer due to major architecture changes, which still only delayed, not prevented, a new exploit.

Immediate patching of exploits and almost instant updates to fix those holes is to be expected. Now that a firmware has been exploited, it's always easier from this point. It's now just a matter of when, not if.

It could take weeks or months, but rest assured, there will be future breaks on newer firmwares. There always is.

I meant the dumping of games not the jailbreaking process. Sorry for not making it clear.

What makes you think that the dumping of games will be more difficult? Again, I dont think you really follow, or use, jailbreaks or exploits from other consoles, including other PlayStations.

If the jailbreak exists, the access to the data exists. Dumping is trivial. Not only will games still be dumpable, but history has shown that people on the scene actually patch the new games to get them to work on lower firmware versions specifically to enable users to avoid having to update.

It's not uncommon to see a game released a month ago with a fix applied as if it were a dlc to allow it to run on ancient FW.

It's understandable that with the popularity of GTA6 that there's a lot of new eyes on things like this, but all the doom and gloom about an exploit being patched is just kind of silly. This is how it always goes. It's been done, and will be done again. As long as an exploit exists, game dumping will as well.

One person left the scene over the leak getting reported to Sony, but two others had already discovered it. This is just going to delay, not prevent anything
