Hello, I'm new to PS world, just got me a used PS3 a few days ago, and I'm a developer. IDK how hard it is to get a new valid console ID once you're banned from PSN, well I don't really know anything about this, but it sounds sad getting banned forever, so I was thinking...
Have developers considered creating a P2P ecosystem that serves as an alternative to PSN just for multiplayer gaming (IDK what other stuff PSN offers)? Maybe you could proxy PSN connections from games to this ecosystem. Maybe you could use the torrent network in order to avoid having to create or maintain any servers (the ones used to hold peer data so they can connect with each other, I assume).
Give it some thought? It might be a good way of disincentivizing Sony from banning people from their network, since people will have a goto which Sony could no longer control. It might even allow users to share user-created content for specific games, as in whatever modules one could buy off PSN (again I'm guessing here)? Who knows...
