early this month a Chinese company called Westingames advertised their new PS4 mod-chip to allow game-sharing between potentially unlimited PS4 users.

the chip is soldered into any PS4 running firm ware 4.71 & 4.72 and a procedure is done to allow you to use a clone of a friends PS4 hard drive to play his games on your PS4. potentially allowing game piracy through game sharing; however there are more to it than what it seems
to complete such process first you must have position of a friends PSN account credentials (User name and password) and a copy of his PS4 Hard drive, then through a series of logging in and out and pressing buttons on the chip you can have his account & his games running on your PS4 Console; so there is a huge trust factor since you have to share your account credentials with potentially unlimited amount of users.
i highly suspect that the chip can help hacked consoles go online, since Sony will monitor all activities and will defiantly block chip users from playing
also if Sony (in which by the way are NOT idiots) tracks the shared account and blocks it all the players using it are gonna get banned from playing as well.
SO,... Free online play isn't so bad ??
the real problem here is that you can do the same thing without the chip, PS4 hackers have been doing the trick ever since PS4 release without any chips but it is completely prohibited for the PS4 to go online, so what is the good behind having the chip at all?
what i think it is just a marketing trick, if you go to the website www.westingames.com you will clearly see that they want to promote the chip as it will give you abilities like the old hacked consoles, but it wont.
it is not a console jailbreak chip, it is a game sharing chip without use.
if i am gonna crack open my PS4 i will be doing it for much more freedom that what the chip is offering
