    To those who say “but what about game preservation?”:

    GenAI slop ruined communities around game preservation. And for every time a AAA dev getting this treatment, there’s at least 3 indies getting it worse.

      Yep a lot of decomps just get a slop coded version and people stop caring about it because the slop version is “good enough.” Most people doing the decomps it’s also a hobby project that they’re doing for fun as well, the end goal is just a bonus.

        There’s already a meme that a lot of those decomps are just emulators + ROMs in a single repository.
