@DCDeacon on why no PS3360 Console Access

@DCDeacon Why no console command support for PS3/360? Why not let gamers fix broken quests with it?

@cathodetan Because we aren't allowed to include it.

Many people know Two Worlds has one:

But, I don't know if the restriction is an "in game" menu - I think Two Worlds only works from the main menu (can anyone confirm?). Have asked DCDeacon for clarification.

Sony and MS dont allow console commands in games because its possible for hackers to use errors and exploits to circumvent system software and protections. We saw this with the old xbox which could be hacked by simply using an error in a game such as Splinter Cell to load a Linux OS.

Yeah, but that's a different thing completely. That was a system level bug which allowed people to boot into an OS via a save file.

This isn't a system console, this a console into the game engine itself. The only thing I can break with it is my own game.
