Ugh heartbreaker because Evening Star is hyper talented and this is a legit good pick for the project!! But it comes with the baggage of being Sony's effort to placate fans -- a blunt attempt at damage control for every bullshit anti-consumer choice Sony has proudly spit into our faces lately.

VGC corroborates report that an Ape Escape revival is being developed by Evening Star (Penny’s Big Breakaway/Sonic Mania) "VGC has heard from multiple sources that Ape Escape isn’t the only PlayStation franchise Sony is looking to revive via licensing to smaller third-party studios"

Here’s a thing about LLM code generation that people haven’t mentioned much, even in theory: The thought that open source projects might either close their source or make the bar for contribution significantly higher due to the onslaught of vibe-coded submissions.

Also, before anyone understandably asks, Grimdoomer's bona fides are legit and include major contributions to other scenes over the years, including the PS2 as well. And while it's unfortunate the code will remain closed source, it's hard to argue with the reasoning. I'd likely do the same here.

A screenshot from the Github page for Grimdoomer's Xbox 360 softmod that says the following: Where's the Source Code? I have decided not to release the source code for this for a few reasons: Everything I make and release I do for free in my own time. This is a hobby for me and something I do for fun. Given the state of software development I no longer feel the need to release the source code for everything I make just so people can make a million forks of it and kill any motivation I have to work on it. I make this stuff for myself and not anyone else. The world doesn't need 15 "slopsoftmods". It took a LOT of work to not only develop this exploit chain but also package it into an easy to use installer and do testing to try and make sure it wouldn't break someone's console. Making these modifications to your console can cause it to stop working, and I don't see why someone who doesn't understand the risks, work it took to make, or how the OS functions, should be able to clone a turn-key repository, make one change, slap their name on it, and tell people "go download my softmod". It's inevitable that people will just reverse engineer, modify, and repackage my work as their own. While my work may not be "perfect, bug free, etc.", I have taken utmost care to make sure it's unlikely to cause any harm to your console and that you should always be able to boot into retail mode to recover from anything that goes wrong. Other people copying my work may not do the same. If you don't trust the people making the modifications don't install them.

Bro Stardust Crusaders was hilarious, someone would comeback from taking a shit with 3 contusions and a concussion from being attacked and Joseph would say some shit like “oh my god man what took you so long you missed the breakfast buffet!”
