If we go with the Kexts route, it will require a Apple developer account ($100/yr) which will probably happen after LizardByte is incorporated as an LLC.

Hi there! First of all, great project and kudos to the team for all the hard work you've all put so far! 🙇

I was wondering if there are any plans to support Gamepad emulation on macOS. I am using an Apple silicon M1 and it'd be perfect to stream games from it to any other device supporting the Moonlight client.
