banteg: creating out of resentment vs creating out of love — the PS5 hacker essay
banteg · x · 2026-10-14
banteg's essay contrasts anti-corporate rebels who jailbreak consoles only to consume the same corporate catalog with curious creators who make PS2 discs run on PS5 or decompile forgotten games for love. His point: resentment lets your enemy define your goals; love gives you goals of your own — and love-driven work is far more subversive because it expands what's possible.
