They have something to lose: Credibility
Credibility is created when you consistently backup your claims with proof. This is the reason why the masses are so misinformed. They take the word of organization as truth without looking at the evidence which in this case non has been provided.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Well talk less and support them already!
You said you're the one that got bribed. So where's the proof?

- Tweet by libretro.
- Tweet got confirmed by m4xw.
- Contact between m4xw and TX was established by xiaNaix.

The proof is there.

Libretro has a lot of credibility for providing their utility and being consistent when it comes to their reaction when it comes to bullshit about preboxing software (they've made claims about this before, which I can find for you if you want me to) already, meaning they have a history of calling out this brand of shit. Them lying would not be beneficial to them in any form.

It annoys me soon as TX do something for the “business” everyone jumps on their backs in disgust I think many here are forgetting TX has put a huge donation in for gbatemps bounty so show a little bit of respect! Yes @m4xw i might just do that if they stopped acting childish and posting private details between the two parties just for loyalty purposes.

Give me a reason to show respect for them just because they threw a large lump at money for a good cause.

Gamergate started supporting anti-harassment groups to put up a "good" side. Doesn't change that GG was nothing but a thinly veiled harassment campaign.

Scientology uses charities and "good-looking" fronts to make themselves look better. Doesn't change they're a cult.

Throwing lumps of money at things doesn't change or hide issues.

So far we are only seeing a one-sided story, that as told by @m4xw

From the rumors I'm being told it does not seem that he is so righteous as he claims or as it appears currently. Insiders are telling he was more than willing to accept the offer and get paid

It was a business offer. What's the problem.
It's a bride actually. They aren't paying him to help make something for them or paying him to help homebrew compatibility for them, those are job offers. They were trying to pay him to take his source, close it off, stop making open source code, and make a exclusive version for them despite the obvious legal issues, that's bribery.

Just because they donated to the Temp, doesn't change their previous actions. They have a long history of stealing code, releasing the untested stolen code, shilling, and so much more, that honestly they shouldn't get such an easy free pass.

They only did that to boost sales and their ego.

This is counter-productive. Stop making claims without proof. "insiders are telling" post some links stop regurgitating hearsay. I'm not accusing @m4xw of anything, I'm just simply asking for proof of his claim. And by the way I do think it's despicable to try to take an open source project and make it closed source. But just provide proof that this was the case.

Great to know you are associated with them. Not surprised.
Yet we are here and I never accepted any payment whatsoever.

If you want to blame me for trying to gain their trust, go ahead.
I don't mind it, I wanted to see where this goes and I didn't like the destination.

Can you maybe expand a bit on what the current status of your retroARCH port is?
I understand you are ambitious to write a custom UI for reotroARCH from scratch,
but from a time-efficiency point of view this would set us back quite some months.
This also goes for porting Qt etc. to switch. They would be nice *future* goals
but for now we are mostly interested in getting an emulator frontend integrated ASAP.

You can either provide us with source code or an NRO and we will take care of the
actual integration into TX menu. Right now it seems easiest to me if we have some
button or menu inside our TX menu that will bring up the retroARCH frontend, and a
way to go back to TX menu from the retroARCH frontend.

The user interface, user experience and rom folder structure should be consistent.
Everything needs to be branded with Team Xecuter of course, please let us know
what graphics assets you need. (type of asset, limitations, dimensions, mockup UI screenshots)

So from what I can decipher from your reply is that you can't provide proof because it incriminates you.. I understand perfectly now.
