I can absolutely sympathize with any developer who drops whatever they were doing and abandons the whole scene. Years ago I was involved in old video game remakes, and when the original author of one of these games got upset due to a misunderstanding (missed email, marked as spam, it was that long ago email was still a thing), I was relieved to take it all down and walk away.

And that was a very niche freebie thing, not an emulator with hundreds of thousands of users, or even paying users.
