we're all in this together.
Nah they'll never ever see it like this. For the very devs of the #1 emulator who have dumped coded and distributed all that for two decades and millions of people have naturally used for playing games, all users are filthy pirates... mamedev hate pretty much all retro-gaming communities, this one is no exception.
Talented hard working devs who gave humanity a precious gift, but equally a bunch of schizophrenic condescending arses endless circlejerking in their ivory tower.
(don't forget the emuversal chatbox, taken minutes ago:)
R. Belmont: also, arcade controls likes MAME and hates MAMEdev.
Haze: they like being able to take advantage of something, but don't care how much their actions cause problems for those actually providing them with said thing
Haze: it's a very parasitic community
Haze: even when you do bend to accommodate them they just see it as a weakness that they can use to actually break you
Haze: so I don't bother to bend for them at all.
If we listened to you mamedev, nobody in this world should use MAME at all, yet praise you and agree to everything you say and do all day even if it's cringeworthy af. Maybe put Haze on a leash instead of letting him piss on users everywhere he can on the internet - he's been doing that for years no wonder he ends up getting defacto hate everywhere he goes, visit and read his blog and try to tell me the guy is not lost in paranoid narcissistic dementia - wake up, then maybe people will begin to like you again.
If you despise people for using your software for it's very intended purpose, which happens by your hand, if you can't bear the consequences then close source and go away already, take a long vacation and sign for group therapy because you've lost sense of reality.
Oh I know! as long as you've got even a handful of deaf-blind fans with Stockholm Syndrome that'll be enough a validation for you in public, still I laugh hard because reality is that you lose users and supporters every day.
Maybe mamedev will have reached their ideal the day they're finally completely isolated, self-congratuling in their randian bubble, completely ignored by the masses of vile users playing all kind of crap emu boxes while ignoring whoever you are and whatever you do and did.
And it'll be only those user peasant's fault, right? yeah zero responsibility from the emu dev gods, they're always right, right? yosh yosh, keep dreaming mame overlords. keep dreaming...
You know what they say about brilliant jerks, no matter how good they are in the end their attitude ruins it.
