If users are given an option to save game data locally, doesn't this mean hackers will be able to edit them and make themselves uber n stuf?


    That's what nProtect is for. It scans all of the game files to check for editing, and any files that don't match certain criteria will not be considered valid.

    Very true.  Personally though I will continue to let Sega store my game data on their servers.  That way I can help decrease any chance that nProtect might give a false positive due  to some background process that it doesn't like.

    Neither do I, but for some reason they did.  But I agree it really doens't make a lot of sense.

    Have you tried backing up the save file and hex editing it and see what happens? More than likely PS:U will crash but will nProtect tell you there is an error before you do it?

    EDIT: Nvm, it's a bad idea anyway. I don't want anyones account to be banned or anything.
