da_head said:those marvelous groups that release our ds games (and every other piece of software) day of release, or even days before hand. why do they do it? it's obviously not for profit..
out of the goodness of their hearts?
they work in those game companies, and they hate their job?
cuz they're bored?
they wanna test/show off their ability?
fame?
i think it's a little bit of everything, wat do u guys think?
o and long live hackers

Have none of you had the thrill of doing something that everyone else thinks is impossable. I know I have, and I love it. It is the same with every thrill seeking sport or hobby around the world. B.A.S.E. jumpers jump because they might die, But don't usually. Test pilots fly because they might die, But usually don't. It is the thrill of doing what is opposite what the norm is, and getting away with it. Thrill seeking. For lack of a better term. IMO the thrill of doing something everyone else thought was impossable gets me going and also what makes hackers hack. Prove yourself and see.....
Hope it helps...
