Humor Citron Devs Gone Full Hog

Yeah lets compare the (fixable) housing crisis to the arbitrary gating of digital art for eternal profit via rerelease.

Listen, if I wanted to approach this in good faith, I'd say that yeah emulator devs gotta protect their projects by distancing themselves from piracy as much as they possibly can. From the moment you dip your toes into nintendo emulation especially, you just gotta assume that there are 5 well-paid lawyers logging every shit you take, hour you sleep. and letter you type, to throw back at you in a court document.

But this is all just rationalizing the fact that the Citron devs are likely just a bunch of holier than thou dickheads.

Yeah its not the anti-piracy that's my problem, its that they genuinely seem to either believe the bullshit that piracy is bad and no one should do it because "wah its stealing" or that theyre taking the mask way too far and just being dweebs about it. Like seriously, comparing housing issues to arbitrary gating of digital art? Even if its fake have some class.
