The Mister ecosystem is based on open hardware / software, besides the FPGA which is a necessary evil (and can be replaced in the future).

The "mister multisystem" (which is a proprietary design) comes across like a slap in the face. Don't support blatant opportunistic profiteering.

There's a fair few commercial sellers for MiSTer related stuff. Yes some just build existing open hardware designs, but not everything is open hardware.

E.g. the MiSTercade https://misteraddons.com/products/mistercade or the MiSTer mini ITX Ironclad Plus https://www.d3fmod.com/mini-itx-ironclad-plus/

None of these are trying to lock people into their solutions, they're just providing other options.

No one is taking the ecosystem from you. This board is just one expansion option.
