You can still run it in a VM and access files on disk. Or if they're 1337 haxorz and keep the game in RAM you can still inspect RAM

There's no way to deliver a running program which you can't decompile aiui.

Like literally last night I did this to decompile an Android game whose APK on the Play Store is just a thin wrapper that downloads the real Unity game at runtime. It was a 30 second barrier

This may be straightforward on Android, but is it on iOS?

"No way to deliver a running program which you can't decompile" seems less like a rule of nature than the way it happens to work now. I don't think it's extreme to imagine that likely a side effect of this AI-driven gold rush to "free the IP" will be the further lockdown of general purpose computing.

Screen-sharing, not code-sharing.

So then have the AI tool watch the screenshare for some amount of time and then recreate it entirely locally.

		It's naive to think that you can enumerate all the interactions of complex software like a modern game purely by observation let alone over a network link. Anyway all you're proposing here is an even more rapid industry death.
