@jake4480 Great post, I 100% endorse your message. Homebrew (and fan reverse-engineering in general) is the way, forever.
People keep rewarding these companies for crummy practices, even those who grumblingly or ironically support companies they know have no respect for them or other customers.
The game industry has a long way to go to earn my respect again, and they by and large have shown no signs of getting back on the right path. We will always have the retro stuff to fall back on
