Mega corporations are apparently equivalent to solitary, independent developers now.
Seems so, sadly.
Apparently for some every developer should work only for love and affection from their cardboard box and release their software as a free-for-all, but at least feature-complete before they starve, or else it gets a negative review.
You do know that it's possible to charge for, pay for and financially support open source software, right? There are even things like Patreon as well.
