Yes but be sure to be condescending through it all
The entitlement is strong. But not with the person who creates an open source emulator in their spare time and gives it away for free, but for those who demand free support.
It's a quite common issue with open source stuff.
Completely agree, and entitled gamers are some of the worst. Though I don’t think that should completely excuse our dev here from handling it poorly. They made their product worse and then was surprised when things got worse. Ultimately it’s their prerogative for which systems they choose to develop. Fortunately there are alternatives.
Why did they have to provide support? That is the part that is confusing. You could say they can't get anything done due to bug requests and can't seperate the spam from the ham, but nobody makes anyone do support.
