While creating and porting RPCS3 are incredible feats, this port makes no sense. Desktop and laptop users on ARM are a tiny niche and using the excuse that Android users are "toxic" and that Google is uncooperative is idiotic and sounds reminiscent to the same scapegoating AetherSX2's dev used before violating PCSX2's licensing and shoving his app full of ads. RPCS3 is not a free project done out of the kindness of the developer's heart and is funded entirely by contributors through Patreon, a funding model far and away from AetherSX2's. RPCS3 has an incentive and a responsibility to produce what its patrons actually want, ie an Android based port and not a useless hobbyist project to run games at ant resolutions.
