Scripts: Remove PKGBUILD
I originally provided this an alternative to the broken AUR packages.
However, it seems that Arch users would rather use broken packages and keep complaining to me instead of their packager. I specifically forbid packages for DuckStation (see README.md), and there’s no way to request removal of these packages without handing my details over to a distribution I want nothing to do with.
So this is step one. Next step will be removing Linux support entirely, because I’m sick of the headaches and hacks for an operating system that only compromises 2% of the userbase, and I don’t even use myself. But I’m hoping the Linux community will be reasonable, because as someone giving up my free time and not being compensated in any way, I shouldn’t have to deal with this.
Just grep the source for “wayland” and you’ll see what I mean.
Unfortunately I’m not sure forking is an option. After the SwanStation thing, DuckStation switched to a more restrictive source-available license, and if I’m reading it right I believe that forking would be in violation of the license. This section specifically is what I’m looking at:
I am not a lawyer though so I could be misunderstanding. I do wonder if someone won’t just try forking it anyways regardless of legality.
Just do it anyway he says he doesn’t make money from it, what’s he going to do, sue over his free project

If we’re already “pirating” games… are we expected to be the kind of people who will submit to an arbitrary set of words in a .txt file to keep us from something?
most of the open source devs do, to an extend. i would not be surprised if some of them took the “only backup of your own games” seriously.
