That genie escaped the bottle a couple decades ago when The Pirate Bay went online and game studios and publishers started focusing on MMOs and other live service games that couldn't be torrented to compensate. This is a pittance in comparison and it's for a long dead console platform to boot.
replyAnd why do you think people won't be able to rip the streamed games too?
replyIt's a bit harder to reverse engineer a game from a video stream than from a binary+data dump ;) (of course an LLM can come up with a knock-off that roughly has the same theme of what it sees in the video-stream, but that would basically be "Italian Spiderman - the Game".
replySure, but the LLM can either
1. recreate the assets from the good old "view it from multiple angles" trick
2. exfil the running game from the servers :P
