You know what always bother me these days? How it seems that many devs and hackers seem to be VERY uptight people (not all of them of course), that in some respect, you carefully try to not hurt their feelings or such because they will instantly fudgerage and stop developing and/or hacking. If wee take the psp scene for an example, team typhoon got their source code 'borrowed' (from what i know) and they decided to make that "bragging rights" video to troll people with because "the public asked for it."
Seriously? double you tee eff? The public is a MULTITUDE of people, ranging from idiotic to intelligent, of course you'll always have SOMEBODY that gives you a problem. It's like taking public transit everyday and expecting that everyone who gets on will be the nicest people in the world. Bus drivers deal with this poo poo day after day, but they don't leave their professions because they're paid for it, but it's also worthy to note that they are clear headed about who and what type of people get on the bus in first place.
OF COURSE, i know hackers and devs do all of this on their free time and also they do it because it's their hobby. No, they don't have any obligation to do any work hacking a system at all; BUT, i just hate it how devs react like emotional crybabies and "blame" the public for the reason they stop developing. It's annoying, i know many devs don't get enough thank you's from the people who ARE proud of their work, because usually, when someone doesn't have a problem, they won't go out of their way to go bother someone about it. You only have the trolls and other retards trolling your forums with the same spoon because THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, goddammit, don't assume that because people aren't saying thank you means that they are totally oblivious to your work. I'm very sure that many get your work from all sides of the globe and it would be very hard to get that one heartfelt thank you out in the first place.
To come to a conclusion, it's just infuriating how sometimes you'll have a dev grouping the public into one thing and calling it "bad"; it's such a stupid thing to consider that EVERYONE will be fair towards your work. There are pirates, there are people who will use your software, there will be people stealing your source, and there will also be people who are also very thankful for the work you put in. Stop disrespecting everyone and telling people that you quit because wee weren't well behaved. Hell, i know many people who would want to rip a trolls head off for insulting a dev, there are MANY people who want to help but can't, so really it's up to a dev to just deal with the bullchocolate that is apparent from not just the general public; but the world in general.
NOW, to stop work just because you're uninterested is a totally acceptable thing in my book, but stop blaming everyone because your work was disrespected by some, this outcome will always happen once you walk out your door and into the world beyond.
P.S. Need to go for now, will re-edit this post for grammar and coherence.
