AI 批量反编译游戏引发行业震荡：WebAssembly 助力旧作复活与软件版权危机并存
独立开发者 Popcar 指出，AI 驱动的批量反编译技术正通过 WebAssembly 让老旧游戏在浏览器中复活，极大推动了数字遗产保护。然而，该技术同样意味着任何付费软件都可能被强制开源或遭竞争对手窃取，对现有软件知识产权体系构成颠覆性威胁。

AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary.
Indie game developer Popcar talks about the recent wave of AI-powered decompilation of existing games, enabling weird mashups between existing games, and producing a boom in game preservation projects to get old games working on new hardware (often in a browser using WebAssembly).
I like how this piece captures both the positives and the negatives of this new development:
Most people already realized the scary part by now. If AI can decompile games and software, then the entire tech industry is about to explode. Anybody can decompile other software and use it any way they'd like, and nobody can stop them. Companies can steal from competitors. Your paid game or app can be open-sourced against your will. This isn't exclusive to old video games, we can apply this to any software. [...] This is also a big win for preservation. Old games can be ported, modified, enhanced, and made much more easily accessible than before. [...[ With console makers going all in on digital and games becoming entirely unplayable due to servers shutting down, this is fantastic news. We could own software we bought regardless of what the company thinks.
