More likely it is related to the years of harassment from the transphobe "running" retroarch and his horde of hateful shitheads who harass emulator developers until they work for him. Duckstation is far from the only emulator that has been targeted by this and "Swanstation" has always been incredibly sketchy for a "fork".

If you spend years torturing open source developers, this is what happens. Which... has no real impact on the "legitimate" users but will hopefully bring more eyes to why we actively should not support retroarch and their campaigns of hate. Especially when tools like ES-DE do an amazing job of just scanning for what emulators you have installed and "making it work" without demanding developers make tweaks to support their framework.

This is exactly what I was thinking although in more simple of a “I bet this is because of that retroarch dickbag” way

And, of course, the GOL article is written to make stenzek look like a jerk.

I like GOL as a blog a lot, but holy crap is Liam good at half-baked takes on nuanced subjects that mostly just rain shit down upon people.

Also, if you make any honest attempt at constructive criticism on his articles, he just blocks you regardless.
