Especially because of the last part:

> With these vulnerabilities, it is possible to ship pirated games on bluray discs. That is possible even without a kernel exploit as we have JIT capabilities.

So this person basically saved them from loosing tons of money (if you accept these companies claim that pirating games actually make them lose money in the first place) and they only awarded them $20K.

Good way to ensure others who find similar exploits to sell them to highest bidder on darkmarkets instead as they'll be able to get way more than that.
