And yet it would seem that you think they owe you some thing and should not leave the scene. Why do you feel someone owes it to you to "grow a backbone"? Didn't they effectively "use the block button" and (perhaps from their perspective) "stop associating with shitty people"?The people in this community just need to learn to take things with a grain of salt anyway. Especially in this "safe place" age we live in most of them honestly just need to grow a backbone. It's extremely disheartening to see talented people storm out because of heckling, or what have you. There is a block/ignore button for a reason on all avenues, more people should use them. It's just as troubling seeing random members demand things and start a hate parade when they don't get what they want. I digress, this is the internet and it would do everyone good to remember that from time to time. No one owes any of us anything and vice versa, we don't owe the devs our usage, testing or inputs. It's a two way street, and if we can't help each other then we shouldn't be here. If devs didn't make programs we'd have nothing to use, yet if we didn't use them they would most likely cease development entirely.
Those devs that develop those "holier than thou" attitudes because they forked a popular program, and the people that come here making an account just to demand a feature are the worst. It boggles my mind how people on either end can let trivial stuff like that under their skin. Yes, I know in certain instances it's been a lot more than sheer "annoyance" yet, the same solution can apply. Stop associating yourselves with shitty people and you'll see the 3DS scene isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Only work with trusted people and for the sake of devs sanity start using their repos to request features; remember no one owes anyone anything.
I am sure the 3ds scene seems less bad when you ignore it completely
