Actually it makes a lot of sense to keep the format uder corporate control. This not only affects piracy but also prevents unlicensed 3rd parties from distributing unauthorised content.
Agreed.
Quote:All of the above cannot be hold if they'd open up the market for homebrew development!
Restrictions on authorized titles and homebrew development need not be mutually exclusive, and the PSP/DS are the perfect platforms. With memory cards and wireless connections, there's a lot of potential. Allow homebrew devs to create games freely, and offer them up through an online service, either for free or a low price. If a game really catches on, you can toss the developer a dev kit (after signing a "standard" royalties contract) to produce an improved version for stores, or buy the IP for some paltry amount and do it yourself.
