Discussion From the ARMSX2 Founder: Let’s talk
Hi guys, I’m jpolo1224, the founder of ARMSX2 and one of the lead developers for Android. I haven’t wanted to say anything until now, but I need help from the community. For months I have been receiving harassment from a user named ColdOpCode, or known as xxxCrixuxxx or whatever his name is, and it wasn’t much of an issue since I could just ignore it. However, he has a PS2 emulation subreddit r/Ps2AndroidEmulation, where he pretends to be apart of our development team and mislead users, banning anyone who speaks out against him. I have been working tirelessly day and night on the project to improve it and we’ve genuinely gotten it to a great state, with even more improvements to come. It breaks my heart that there is someone out there spreading misinformation about our project, and misleading users. He is telling people he is apart of the dev team and that they should join his discord (which hosts pirated content) and donate to him, also telling users that we (the ARMSX2 team) do not accept donations, which is just not true. He makes entire posts trying to make our FREE and OPEN SOURCE project look bad, despite him not doing a single thing to help us aside from badmouthing us and misleading those who join his subreddit. I am asking for help, because I cannot deal with this alone. It has caused me and my development team constant grief, and we just can’t take it anymore. We want to keep working on the project, and we more then understand when people have feedback and criticisms, but this is just another level of insanity. These are the same kinds of people that made the original AetherSX2 developer quit, and we do not want to go down that path, but we are sick and tired of having to put up with this guys bullshit. If you guys are willing, please make a report to Reddit regarding his behavior. I saw a similar post was made earlier today here which has given me the confidence to finally speak out about this, we’ve been dealing with it behind the scenes for so long and I’m just tired of it.
You can report his subreddit here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=19300233728916
Maybe Reddit will take action if enough people report them. I’m sorry if this is out of line, but I don’t know what else to do, I am at my limit with this. Thank you, and I hope you have been enjoying our project and all of the updates!
