He saw the legal mess that constituted MAME and tried to clean it up. If the MAME devs had any sense, they would have secretly embraced it while publicly denouncing him. Then once some ownership was established, get a piece of that pie. Really the only way they were gonna make any money off it and not end up in jail.
Wouldn't be surprised to hear more than one person was cashing checks from GlobalVR

From what I have read it's more HOW he went about doing things more than WHAT he went around doing. I wasn't around back then (well, I was around, but not around here) but from the interesting material I've found it seems that more and more people were pissed at him for being less than upfront with his intentions & activities.
It's a moot point now though...
Tiger-Heli:
He was completely upfront with his activities and intentions.
He attempted to trademark the use of the term MAME (even though he had no connection with either MAME or it's development) in an effort to shut down competition with his company's sales of arcade games and in an effort to shut down legitimate businesses on the basis of copyright and trademark infringement. He relinguished his attempt when MAMEdev agreed to file for the trademark themselves and place some tighter restrictions on commercial usage of the term MAME and it's logo.
Ask EmdKay about it if he is still around or search for his posts on the subject.
