>Again you're spreading fake news and lies to push your pro-piracy narrative.
Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? You're I'm not spouting propaganda you mongoloid, I'm just saying you're wrong and an idoit.
>The reality is that PS2 games sold extremely well because no one knew how to pirate PS2 games easily, let alone knew where or how to "modchip" a PS2.
Again, FROM MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, everyone was doing it, normies, to tendies including my own family. My mother litterally just paid some guy to do the modchip install for my brother when we were kids so he could play burnt copies of games and games from other regions.

>If piracy was around earlier, it would push away third party developers/publishers forvthe simple fact that they don't want to lose money on a console that was easily pirated.
My guy, the ps2 had modchips since 2001

I wasn't able to find much since im trying to find shit from 20 years ago but this was the earliest mention of a piracy enabling mod for the ps2 being released.
Also that's a shit argument since there were multiple consoles that were hacked in their lifespan but still got games.

It a console has sold enough units they'd still publish regardless.
