      convenience especially with winget is still the best and not everyone is the developer

          Winget just downloads an installer from the source.

          Microsoft doesn’t provide build time or hosting space (except if you’re using GitHub)

          Repo only contains URL to download and hash for check

              I tried once to compile sm64 on windows and I took over 1 hour and dozens of gigabyte to download and install all the prerequisites, plus visual studio clutters the start menu with lots of “useless” shit, normal people gonna get pissed

          I do not think the author is happy with this because as it said from the takedown post. it disrupts the subscription money.
