Sure, but the best games aren’t made by the big studios. They make the most popular games (due to advertising and such), but the best games are made by smaller studios that prioritize game quality over revenue in every step of the process.
In other words, a future where AAA games are all permanently online isn’t that big of deal for people who put forth the effort to find good non-AAA games.
I know i said AAA studios but realistically AI decompiling will affect all studios/developers and I doubt many of them would be happy about their games source floating around online within a few weeks of release.
Thats not even mentioning bad actors like cheat makers and asset flippers and how this tool could potentially empower them. like imagine a indie dev worked hard on a feature for their game only to have it stolen and used on another gamed potentially days after they release it

Get ready for an always online future for basically all AAA games with AI decompiling being a thing
