This kind of attitude has become obnoxiously common in the post-Fightcade 2 world and it sucks. It’s the FGC equivalent of ugh, why don’t these people buying mini consoles just set up RetroArch and a Raspberry Pi
Besides the fact that FV2 DC (the only version that FC2 supports) has issues and folks like me have wanted a more accurate port for decades, setting up FC2 isn’t as easy as walking into an arcade in Like A Dragon Gaiden. I’m quite tech-literate and I had to troubleshoot a fair bit to get FV2 on FC2 functioning right with my setup and internet connection. BBH had to do the same with other DC-hardware-based stuff like KoFXI. We aren’t morons, we’ve been emulating since the 90s.
FC2 has done incredible good for the community but it should not cannibalize the need for proper, official ports done with care. There’s still a barrier to accessibility—especially for emulation of hardware from the late 90s on, which is often more finicky and taxing—and anything to help reduce that should be celebrated.
If even just one person out of 10000 plays FV2 on RGGG, enjoys it, and wants to dig deeper into the game, I consider that a big win.
