[The other dev] sabotaged my project and many Admins came to send me private messages just asking me to leave it alone.
I didn’t receive at least one message from any “staff” group about the end of my clan about this.
Strangely enough, I received messages about all sorts of other silly things before this lol.
I did the previous 2 and maybe I was following a plan… We’ll never know…
What we do know is that the staff supports [the other developer] having the clan about [claim on] this set, considering that she sabotaged my project and many Admins came to send me private messages just asking me to leave it alone.
Always good in the land of the good pot❤

As of October 2025:
CakeBananaCake is a Dragon Ball fan who creates non-commented runs over Japanese versions of games and who created runs of hunting Retro Achievements. His favorite games are Super Mario 64, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You can follow CakeBananaCake on YouTube or Twitch.
And now Custer’s Revenge’s achievements have been nuked from RetroAchievements.
That’s the last straw for me unfortunately.
I will be deleting my account and will be deleting all of my videos that retain RA. Good riddance.
Goodbye RetroAchievements. It was fun.
Even if they reverted the changes I will still not be coming back.
Sorry for those who came to my channel for help on certain achievements, but I will not give any support to a site who bends the knee to a vocal minority.
Having previously already shadowbanned yours truly on Discord presumably for Clovergate coverage, on or around October 24 Retro Achievements removed the link to FFV Central from my user profile.
It should be noted that the link was posted well before Clovergate occurred and, hence, before this site even contained a section on Clovergate.

Despite a recent call for transparency and accountability from its own community as part of Clovergate, is Retro Achievements doubling down on their business as usual of shady practices like this? Is this the kind of community you’d want to be a part of?

YoniArousement is a fan of Doraemon and Arcade games. He has created his own games in Game Maker, M.U.G.E.N and RPG Maker 2003. He produced several Streets of Rage romhacks throughout the years of 2012-2022. He still uses YouTube like he’s living in 2007.
YoniArousement’s flagship romhack is Bishoujo Super Street Fighter II: Glamor Queen. It’s a combo and fighter replacement ROM Hack of the Sega Genesis version of Super Street Fighter II. It features tweaked move sets, edited sounds, juggles and adds dashes. The project came about when he was tweeting Game Genie codes for the game.
The original post that was shared was later quietly removed from the RA forums. That post is also covered here.
Recently, RetroAchievements made an announcement surrounding a ROM Hack called Pokémon Clover, and removed an achievement set for a game called 177. It caused a heated discussion about controversial subjects.
Over two hundred completion badges nuked into oblivion with the push of a button. This can happen to anyone. Do you want to play on Retro Achievements?
2. Wrongfully Banning Users When Doing Clovergate Damage Control, Presumably
Cross-referencing the chat from the original BahamutVoid disclosure sheds more light on the situation.
2-25-10-05 11:05 [Staff A]: @[Moderator A] please be aware of YoniArousement …
The banned player contacted the RA admins via email to appeal the ban. No response has been received in two weeks.
3. Previously Wrongfully Denied Junior-Dev Role for Unspecified Off-Site Behavior, Presumably
YoniArousement previously shared a set plan for one of his hacks, on his own blog.
After requesting to be a Junior Developer, however, he got the following response from RA’s Code Review team on May 27, 2025.
After discussion, the team decided to reject your request to enter the Junior Developer program. The team is not comfortable with the type of content connected to your online presence. It’s contrary to the team’s values and the type of community we are trying to foster. Thanks for your interest, but we must respectfully decline.
Is Retro Achievements Big Brother, watching your every move on the Internet?
4. Illegally Hosting Cloned Patches of Presumably Wrongfully Banned Users
YoniArousement never authorized Retro Achievements to host these patches. So why are they still up, especially when even the mod author has been banned?
5. Longtime Viewer Wrongfully Discord-Banned by RA Twitch Streamer LordBBH for Mentioning Clovergate-Related RA Ban, Apparently
See the video for more details.
