This, again, is just piracy.

Stolen assets with no compensation being rendered by code built by no one.

We had piracy before LLMs. It was more honest.

I think without getting into the whole AI is good/bad/terrible/amazing debate, can we just appreciate that it would have taken some developers a lot of time and coffee to make this happen without an LLM.

Another example recently is Ghost Recon 2; which originally came out on Xbox has now been ported to the PC.

I never got a chance to play it as I was mainly a PC gamer, so is that a bad thing to now have that opportunity to play it 23 years later on my PC?

Piracy was better user experience, according to Gabe. Something running in the browser is even better than that.
