Why are people so completely convinced that it's "drama" that's driven away a bunch of the early devs? Most of them are in their mid-late 30's or even into their 40's at this point, if not older. It's great when you still have enough youth and enough free time to spend all of your spare time working on an emulator in between going to university or working your day job, but most of these guys have wives, kids, houses, and lives now. Working on an emulator is a massive time-sink, and I think people are looking for conspiracies where there aren't any. Work on an emulator or work on your family, which would you go with?
