It‘s pointless. The pace at which games are decompiled with AI in the modding community tells me that each and every software will be figured out and broken into within a few years or even months. The digital world will be turned upside down. All data could be leaked, entire hedge funds and banks could get wiped with a mouse click and governments could be toppled over night when pension funds of millions suddenly disappear. The AI ouroboros is a vortex that could swallow the entire internet including everything we put in it. Moving fast and breaking things may just break our way of life forever.
I do agree with your fears regarding AI, although i am very sure that the real dangers lie with an fully automated surveillance state where even punishment of perceived transgressions are outsourced to AI and not in the decompilation of games.
Securely designed software has no problem with it’s source being available. This is ensured not by hidden code, but by mathematics.
De-compiling isnt magic that lets you do whatever you want with software. It just works well for games because DRM has the insane model of “we give you the encrypted payload and the key to unlock it, but you can only unlock it in the way we want” which is fundamentally insecure. Most software isnt like that.

Wait you mean just because I find the deposit api for my bank I can’t send it a fake 100m deposit into my account? 😜
Things take years to build, minutes to erase.
