What happens to the developer studio of a game that makes an exploit possible on a console?
<p>Often with consoles to be able to softmod them, some legitimately acquired game is required that provides an exploit such that the whole console can be modded, possibly resulting in the owner installing hundreds of illegally obtained copies of games.</p>

<p>Can the creator of a console (e.g., Nintendo) sue the creator of a game (e.g., Konami) that inadvertently provides an exploit that is used by hackers to mod the whole console? </p>

<p>Yes. Anyone can sue for any reason.  Whether they would be successful depends on the contracts that exist between the two parties.</p>
