I'm a game dev and traditionally console devkits were the most guarded secret in the world, you had to have special locks in your office, only keep them away from the windows with areas with controlled access etc etc etc. Luckily during the pandemic the requirements have relaxed and I can work from home and have console devkits at home, turns out it's not such a big deal. Devkits just brick themselves if they don't have regular access to home servers anyway.

So, if you have a power failure, your devkits all commit suicide?

Well no, you can recover them, but without regular activation they are useless, so even if one was stolen it's not going to be useful to anyone.
