Major game decompilation site shutting down as AI 'broke the community aspect'

Decomp projects have long relied on hobbyists reverse-engineering and comparing code line by line as a communal effort; with LLMs automating much of that work, the collaborative draw has collapsed. Reported by Videogames Chronicle, it's a emblematic case of AI eroding hobbyist communities.
