The PSP scene will never die. The platform has brought on so many developers. I don't see it ever dying. DAX will never go away, yada yada yada. It is the same story. Back when I was heavily into CFW, there was way too much drama. Every other week someone was leaving the scene, a new firmware was giving too many problems, etc.
The PSP is easily one of the most populated hacking/modding scenes around.
