        How about chaninging the name from Retropie to something more universal?
        Xbmc did this (now kodi) and that's better for them because it was weird being called xbmc when it was available on so many other platforms.
        Who knows what the future holds?
        I'm using retropie on non-Pi hardware already.

                      What have I done?

                      at least he's playing Tetris in that last image, so it's kind of on-topic

                          WOW!
                          Just seeing this.
                          Looks like the guy tried to corner the market on retropie kits filled with roms and it backfired on him.

                                    Couldn't agree more. He certainly loves to play the victim.
                                    This thread has been pretty quiet lately - not sure if that's a good or bad sign.

                                      I think this is a great point.

                                        I hope he keeps to his word and transfers the trademark across - only then would I be fine for this thread and everything on Reddit about it to be removed. Everyone can then move on.

                                          @robertybob Well, yeah, he seems like an honourable guy who keeps his word. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

                                            if he's really a good guy, why he tried to use MTurks for downvoting in Reddit?
