Reminds me of the Nintendo Switch emulator developers setting up a Patreon.

  Ryujinx still has a patreon so running a patreon is not what solely did them in.

    I didn't mean to imply that. It just doesn't seem to have helped their case very much.

  The biggest vulnerability for hackers has always been trying to get normie clout for our actions. Whether back in the day from pure social bragging, or now from trying to tie in to contemporary surveillance media. It's painful to watch, but if they had been more reserved you likely wouldn't hearing about them in the first place.

    I don't know man, plenty of hackers manage to get by and get eyes on their work without getting sued.

      Really depends. Worst thing you can do as a hacker is have a brand. Anything more than "that guy who did X" is putting you as a flight risk for corporate. You can't put a face or even handle on yourself, ideally. But that's all social media is these days.
