I have a number of consoles that can play video games through modded chip, where i can play the games on number of regions (including NTSC, NTSC-J) this kind of new law implementations is going to be worse. It also doesn't help that this could lead an poor sales to the poor people who never own new consoles that are very expensive (i puchased P1 on 2004, PS2 on 2009/2010 and PS3 on 2016, both we're old and price dropped when the new console comes out every year) and i wait for Nintendo Switch to get price dropped, but this new lew that will be implemented somehow will cause me to lose my faith on interest on Nintendo games and console of all.
I hope that this new law will not be implemented someday and i am sure if this get implemented, there will be a lots of protests for the overseas gaming fans for Japan acting really horrible countries and not doing well at international stuff. (sorry for my poor English) |

eah, I know Out-of-Touch Leadership is an Universal thing. I live in a Southern European country. I would know.  I guess it's just that the LDP has a particular flavor of tone-deafness that I can't help but point out.
With that said, there is a strong corporate lobby there, and particularly the tech industry. I mean, as I said, getting one mp3 file might already get you in trouble.
Pretty much. |

That familiar game of cat and mouse. Since console modders are likely to pay as little heed to laws as they are to their own warranties, online software-level detection is still the only way to police any such tweaking.

As someone familiar with console modding and repair... I say HAHA good luck.
When you pay $$ for something it's yours. It no longer belongs to Sony or Microsoft or whoever.. This is also playing out over here in the US with the right to repair movement, just on items and devices much more costly then a game console. |

lol what a coincidence this law coming about, when news of Nintendo start arising about they couldn't keep secret the fact that their first batches of Switches were hardware compromised leading to the after mentioned console modding, that results in people playing pirate games...
Funny if it was a few small companies being ripped off profits they wouldn't lift a finger. |

I wonder if this is going to be enforced for modding retro consoles (Saturn, PS1, N64, etc.) to work with HDMI on modern TVs?
