It’s really great thet they are releasing it to the public. With cheap 3d printing we can finally replace broken parts. Create some mechanical mods, etc.
It’s also great material to learn if you are interested in mechanical engineering.
I’m not saying that every company should do it, or that they are better than others. For them it’s really not something that makes money or is a core product, so they probably don’t care so much about competitors etc. Also even if you mess with it and they need to replace it while on warranty, it’s still probably ok. They want you to buy games, not the console.
So they are not some messiah of eco-socialism that will save the world from greedy corporations. They just want to make some more money :) but that’s ok, and I appreciate they did it.
