    The entitlement is strong. But not with the person who creates an open source emulator in their spare time and gives it away for free, but for those who demand free support.

    It’s a quite common issue with open source stuff.

    • Dude makes a thing.
    • Dude thinks maybe others could benefit from it, so he gives it away for free
    • Entitled morons think customer is king also applies for stuff they didn’t pay for and demand free support
    • Dude gets overwhelmed and frustrated by having to play free customer support hotline for his free product and after a while pulls back
    • Entitled morons get up in arms and call dude condescending and worse for not doing free customer support for the free thing, somehow believing that dude owes them something.

      Completely agree, and entitled gamers are some of the worst. Though I don’t think that should completely excuse our dev here from handling it poorly. They made their product worse and then was surprised when things got worse. Ultimately it’s their prerogative for which systems they choose to develop. Fortunately there are alternatives.

      Why did they have to provide support? That is the part that is confusing. You could say they can’t get anything done due to bug requests and can’t seperate the spam from the ham, but nobody makes anyone do support.
