You misunderstand. I'm perfectly fine with people selling emulators with games legally on Steam (as long as the emulation software is 100% legitimately on board and not stolen COUGH FUCK YOU DOTEMU COUGH.)
But Retroarch / Libretro insists on using horrendously outdated MAME cores. Jesus fuck they're still on 0.139 OR xmame 0.78!
I'm sure this place will be quite fun once people start asking why retroarch can't run the newer games, or where to download the romsets.
