Not half as absurd as thinking that you're entitled to play tens of thousands of games and that the developers have to cater to you.
Retroarch brought in a pretty entitled crowd, a ton of people who feel they have the right to play perfectly emulated games and yet virtually none of them have contributed to the project(s).
I've contributed, many times, giving a pretty good amount of money over the course of more than a decade, often for things I have no interest in. Contributing simply because the target is exceedingly rare and undocumented.
Before we have any other conversations, IMO, the Retroarch community needs to start donating to the dumping union.
Join the project, don't sit on the fence and argue with the people who are doing amazing things. Or don't join the project and let those who care do the right things.
