people who have underperforming or incompatible hardware who hound developers for optimaztion on a project that was free.
people tend to not read app requirements (or the fucking manual) because their too lazy to help themselves before bugging someone else.

Added with games, where game devs also receive some of the most vile stuff around, it’s just a recipe for disaster

Especially when the software they’re developing is an emulator or for phones. This was both!
