I decided the other day that I'd like to play Mother 3 again, and decided to put it on my phone. Checked the Play Store and holy shit... you either pay a fucking SUBSCRIPTION for an emulator or get bombarded with ads everytime you want to load a game, while playing, and are limited to only 1 save on some of them for the free users.
That just really bothered me because I've been in the emulation scene since the late 90s. It's alway been a community thing. It's always been free. If you want to donate to someone... cool, but you didn't ever have to pay to play.
It took me all of 3 minutes to do some research and figure out I could use RetroArch and load Visual Boy Advance through that. If you're already pirating old software, why the hell would you willingly pay for a fucking emulator?
I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does. When I was younger I figured the people of the future (today) would all be tech wizards, but if it isn't an app then most motherfuckers are just completely lost.
