Nah… I suspect that Sony simply doesn’t want to anger hackers again. The cost of downtime is likely to be higher than the imaginary profits they get from harassing emulator communities. I doubt they think their reputation is worth much but maybe they have started to see some value on it.

Japanese gaming companies often don’t seem to understand the value of the reputation / honor which is really weird considering that it’s one of the things japanese culture is supposed to value.

So companies lie and misuse the power they have without any real punishments. What a world we live in.

Used to have one. It was constantly clogged and causing trouble.

Mostly the difference is how locked down the printers are. For example I really don’t like Elegoo’s proprietary slicer format as it requires me to use their shitty closed source slicer. Second is the availability and pricing of spare parts.

Washing and curing stations are quite simple and as far as I know there’s no big differences.

Check your local maker space / hacklab first to get started. SLA printing isn’t for everyone and cheaper gear isn’t so nice to operate. You should also consider washing & curing station since it’s really a must if you want to print at least somewhat comfortably.
