a lot of the cool decomp / port stuff that's been done would not be possible without people like encounter, and others in our once niche community that dedicated hundreds of hours to this hobby. to have that work and it's creators abused like this is insulting to say the least.

our decomp community will probably be moving in a more private and closed direction to keep these kind of people out now. it's unfortunate, but in the current climate it's all that can be done to maintain any sanity. we're in a new much shittier era now, and we just have to adapt as best we can

Hate that it has to come to that, but these AI parasites have made it so explicitly clear that their intent is to steal work an deteriorate the scenes they infest that I don't know what else is really practical. Closing it off is probably the best call to protect the work being done.

I don't blame any of you for moving underground and just occasionally popping up to dump whatever cool stuff has been made. Sorry things have gotten so shitty for all of you, and I hope you all know that so many people appreciate all the time and care you put into these works.

Also just to be explicit- I have no expectation of any further work from any of you and am eternally grateful for all the cool shit that has been made already and if you all never release another thing again I completely understand
