In his defense, a LOT of emulator maintainers have this sentiment about RetroArch, so I can’t fault him too much for that one in particular.
I do get the sense this is more common with emulators in general.

Then release your emulator as a paid app for iOS with a closed source and go nuts. Otherwise it’s like going out naked during a rainy day and shouting you’re getting wet.
Agreed really, but less about the RetroArch part and more just in general with the way this person in particular is. In my mind, if you’re not ready to be able to turn the project over to the community to maintain instead of yourself because you’re as much of a controlling prick as this guy, then you should never make it even source-available and should just keep it private source.

I’ve seen multiple emulator devs frustrated with how demanding the project itself is, but moreso toxic behavior from the lead developer towards emulator devs and users alike. Can’t handle any kind of even constructive criticism worth a damn and when people understandably are frustrated by him lashing out he then turns it back around to say they’re out to get him.
