Japanese PSPwiki Shutdown Under Pressure From Sony

PSPwiki, a Japanese homebrew uploader website, has been shutdown on November 18th under pressure from Sony. For those who have been around the homebrew scene for a while you will recognize PSPWiki as the hub of Japanese homebrew releases.

On October, 21st the PSPWiki webmaster posted the following message:

I’m 99% sure those b******s have posted the pressure and warnings on the forums. I really hate to give in to the threats from those b******s including SCEI. It’s tiresome, but I have to take this chance to stop all the uploaders. Once they are stopped, those b******s and that company will be happy. The date for shutting down the uploader server is still pending.

And after almost a month, it has happened.

It is really a shame that Sony strikes the PSP homebrew scene in any manner they can. Sony is trying to kill the scene which has helped them to promote the PSP since day 1.

Wake up, Sony!!!!
