I wrote a blog post on the current trend of game decompilations using AI and where we’re going with this. It’s all very promising but oh boy are the implications scary.
Decompiling is not new. Modding games that weren’t made to be moddable is not new. Heck, Pokemon DS games have been decompiled, hacked, modded, and what have you to hell and back for decades.
It’s not awesome, actually.
Awe is not necessarily a positive emotion. Awesome and awful are almost exactly the same word.
Yeah you got awful - full of awe. Too much awe. Bad
awesome - a moderate amount. Tends to be more positive
Then, aw no - back to bad again
Old abandoned games made playable again

I do not need more options, I’m paralyzed by choice as it is.

It’s super awesome. One modicum of power shifts to consumers to control the products they buy, and the corporatists come running with their “think of the devs” arguments despite devs not being paid in royalties/residuals.
