What kind of sicko sends death threats to someone for developing an emulator

Open source devs have to deal with the most entitled, messed up people, I swear

Added with games, where game devs also receive some of the most vile stuff around, it's just a recipe for disaster

Especially when the software they're developing is an emulator or for phones. This was both!

I’ve heard that the emulation on android community is extremely toxic because a lot of people don’t know anything about emulators and then get pissed when their shitty phone can’t run every game at 4k 60 fps

Digital illiteracy and it's consequences

people who have underperforming or incompatible hardware who hound developers for optimaztion on a project that was free.

people tend to not read app requirements (or the fucking manual) because their too lazy to help themselves before bugging someone else.

Same thing happened to Near/Byuu the creator of higan (SNES emulator).

That makes my blood boil every time i think of it. I'm autistic and a computer uber-nerd too and they didn't deserve it. I beg for the day Kiwi Farms will be gone for good.
