All I can do is speak for ourselves.

RetroDECK has explicit rules against contacting upstream projects for support issues, and those rules have always been in place.

Our support is internal, and if we discover something that appears to be an upstream bug, we report it directly to the upstream team not through a user proxy.

We have been very vocal about this policy within our community.

It’s also important to remind users that RetroDECK doesn’t make the games run; the built‑in emulators, engines, and systems do. Therefore, we encourage our users to donate to those upstream projects rather than to us.
