Still not having a news on main page shows how this site went dogshit with Switch related news coverage if one of the most important people in Switch scene retiring is not worth even a simple note.

I was wondering about it, too.

Must have been main page, since yesterday....

Yeah, it's real. It's been an honor and a privilege to work so hard for the community all these years.

Really appreciate that the response has been understanding and positive so far ^^

Thank you so much for your time and efforts for the switch. All the best for the future and you will be misted!

Moral of the story: if switch 2 gets hacked. Make sure the dev is locked up in a basement and never see a woman again.

You will be sorely missed. Your work has been a real treasure, but i can't begrudge your reasoning.

Guess the question is if someone is expecting to continue working on it? My cynicism already clocks Nintendo pushing out another mandatory update explicitly to break compatibility.

... Or, well, just hire a redditor. Their patent obesity and incel behavior would make them repulsive to anyone able to set eyes on them

Well deserved. Enjoy your private life, mate.
You gave us so much and you did it for free.
Whenever a new FW update came out, everyone was literally "expecting" you to deliver (and you did!) although we should have never taken this (service) for granted.
Thank you for every single hour you donated to us.

It's sad news but thanks for all that you have done. And good for you to think about yourself and take time for yourself. That's good.

I don't think a single person has ever affected a console's scene to the extent that you did to the Switch. It's not a stretch to say that you are the defining figure behind a generation of console hacking. And that's before your other absolutely essential projects like PKHeX are taken into account, the 3DS scene works, and one of the most helpful and informative social media presences in the scene.

You'll never be forgotten, Scires. Take care, man.

Thank you so much for everything you've done for the homebrew community, your work driven by pure passion has been an absolute blast and I can bet it has made a real big difference for countless people. Your impact won't be forgotten!!

Wishing you nothing but the best in life and whatever comes next for you and your family going forward. Absolutely deserved

Godspeed
