It's only an issue if Lutris becomes closed source or the available code becomes impossible to review by humans.

As I see it:

  • any open source code that is unreviewed by others (mostly hidden work) can be dangerous to use.
  • Maintainer is still maintainer unless fork
  • Maintainer still... Maintains Lutris which I'm unable to do
  • Maintainer is and admits to being a Troll. Also admits to using AI. Both are better than trying to hide it.
  • See point one.

I get the AI hate, but as Maintainer does, I believe it being shitty cause we don't live in a good or nice system, and it can't be removed. Maximum is it being forbidden, which somehow does not make it feel safer at all.

Whether I like it or not, it's there. Let's get back to point one.
