Nah… I suspect that Sony simply doesn’t want to anger hackers again. The cost of downtime is likely to be higher than the imaginary profits they get from harassing emulator communities. I doubt they think their reputation is worth much but maybe they have started to see some value on it.
Japanese gaming companies often don’t seem to understand the value of the reputation / honor which is really weird considering that it’s one of the things japanese culture is supposed to value.
