And do you think Gateway would have put so much effort to achieve the multi-rom loader, EmuNAND etc. if they weren't facing competition from other cards such as MT? Do you think Gateway would have magically gained .cia support if it wasn't for the CFW being leaked? Without such pressures forcing Gateway to keep up, we'd still have a single rom cart and no sound in homebrew.
I love my Gateway, but they're not doing it just because they're nice guys - flashcards are a moneymaker. If there are open source, free alternatives then Gateway will be forced to improve their own support to stay ahead. Everybody wins.
I never said anything about my view in the matter. I'm just stating the facts, someone expecting $€£¥₩ will work much harder for it than someone volunteering. A lot of the ppl in the community are super ungrateful with their 'gimme ROMz' then they get spoon fed and just leave wondering why it wasn't much easier.
Also, why did all those gw features happen? Because they were at threat of losing money+it could be that some of the features were inspired by other exploits. Another thing is that those features promote new buyers. I know a lot of people skipped on the 4.5 exploit because of the '1 rom per card' rule.
And all those nice guys of the scene are doing it at their own slow pace, worried not to brick their consoles and stuff. Ppl expecting money at the end will be less worried of losing a console in the first place because they will eventually recoup their losses.
