Meh, I don't really care. It's a free product and it does what I need it to. Just open an issue if there's actually something wrong with the code itself or pick another software if you disagree with the maintainer. There's really no need for drama here.
It's more of a political stance.

That’s why we cannot have nice things.
People on the internet going nuclear about how a dev (who dedicates his spare time to create a free, non-profit piece of software) works.
Also they’re not contributing or providing solutions, but feel entitled to demand and criticize. Loving all about it.
Especially true considering that the Lutris team has been looking for active devs for quite some time and is only maintained by a few people. If they have to rely on AI to keep the project alive, maybe the ones complaining should submit some actual code instead of opening issues in their personal crusade.
