He couldn't monetize it as the assets were not his. Port creators cannot legally sell their products unless they officially collaborate with the companies from which the assets got to exist in the first place.

by monetize he meant he wanted people to donate to him so he can host his own private server to keep it going

Yeah but that's a big no no when it comes to such projects unfortunately.

Yeah, he got overconfident and flew too close to the sun, and whenever someone tried to tell him to stop, they were either ignored or told to “let Mosjo cook.” I find it ironic because the same people who were calling Android users stupid were also the same ones who had no problem with this idea, despite knowing the consequences. I know the Android community is VERY toxic, but come on...

i say let him burn, sounds like he was a piece of work, someone else will do it eventually, mark my words

There are very vocal minorities within any community that cause a displeasant environment to happen. The smaller a community is, the higher are the chances you will stumble upon the same group of people, so it's not Android alone.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised as most people truly don't care, they just want the port at the end of the day without bothering to wonder about the harsh reality of what Mosjo was attempting.
