He literally did say that he doesn’t have the time to maintain it anymore, in large part because of entitled users like you! You clearly didn’t read the article, and responded to the headline.
The kid is 18 and in college, you think this should be his full time job? And the “evil paid app” in this situation contributes all their work upstream to Wine, so the definition of a positive actor in the community.
What have you done by the way? What’s your contribution?
Cowardice?
Companies routinely bully small developers until they give up, rockstar and nintendo are big fans of that tactic. Cowardice is probably not the right word but I know I would cower if some company threw their legal department at me so thats the word I chose.
You do realize he has said he did this out of personal admiration and hope for the Wine project's funding? If he had cowered he would not have lied. As seen in what he said when a previous project he worked for, Ryujinx, was shut down. No reason to believe there was any bullying.
