So nice of them to use github, a platform that is so readily known for being super hesitant on takedown claims /j

I say it as /j instead of /s because while they have taken down repos, they have decided to uphold projects in the past before.

It’s so much work reverse engineering the proprietary console when you can just use the steam deck.
