online harassment etc 

I am fucking livid. A prominent emulator author was essentially threatened and doxed off of the internet to the point where they felt they had to quit. What is fucking wrong with people. twitlonger.com/show/n_1srbcc1

@debugninja @sp1rit well there is some drama. I totally see why people hate them. But hacking them is unreasonable retaliation.

re: online harassment etc 

@mewmew @debugninja @sp1rit imagine being such a corporate bootlicker that you hate the people that work to preserve classic games and computer software... that must be a sad existence.

re: online harassment etc 

@sylveon @debugninja @sp1rit that's not why people hate it.

People hate it because it repackages bad versions of emulators without giving appropriate credit, and deceptively receiving donations that should be going to the emudevs who actually do the work.
