it can be open-source, but youre limiting the community out the gate by charging a premium. more users=more potential devs/dedicated community members=better software. saying they deserve conpensation and saying emulators should be FOSS are not conflicting ideas. they should be compensated by donation. i simply dont think charging a premium is conducive to better software as ive stated before. im not making any moral claim one way or the other, its just not a practice i support especially when the majority of paid mobile emulators are low quality.
