I'll never forget witnessing the beginning of the development of PSIO: a complete CDROM Emulator for the PSX that aimed to provide the ability to boot games off a SD card. At the time in the early 2010s it was considered a far reaching project. The creators took so much abuse for years because so many in the "community" thought it was vaporware and damn these people for even trying. One of the creators was a high school student who took the time to learn low level FPGA coding, board layout and software dev so he could contribute to a lot of the core codebase. Eventually they actually launched and the product works! Now they get crap for other things that are equally silly(ex. Firmware downloads require inputting account, different firmwares for different revisions, not focusing on stupid things like Mem card backups in favor of bug fixes). It also made me think, man I never want to get into a gaming related business. These are the types of customers no self respecting business would want to deal with.
