but really would feel bad for any packager maintainers.

It's already unpackageable because of the license anyway.

The only "legit" way to get the emulator is their provided AppImage bundle, and nothing else. The author also has a rant about Flatpak being broken and unreliable and refusing to support that, so...

I have some issues with flatpak, myself, but that mainly stems from having trouble finding documentation to clear up how to properly use extensions and non-standard dependencies that are easy to do with OCI images.

Ex. I had a really hard time trying to get Vega Strike built as a flatpak.
