Any idea how so many websites appear to be hosting this game?

From my limited digging, it appears that Godot games are trivial to decompile, meaning some douchebag can download the game, decompile it into a package, re-export it as a web version, and then host it on their shifty site named after another, legitimate site. I found another one that didn't know Cloudflare's WHOIS privacy still shows your general location, and turns out they're based in China. Go figure, the place where IP law goes to die.

Albeit likely futile, I have filed GitHub ZenDesk tickets 4271411 and 4271408 to remove the cited repositories.

I found one that didn't just rehost a (broken) version of the game, but included an exhaustive FAQ and multi-page strategy guide. The entire thing seems AI-generated, based on the strange mistakes it includes. Just wonder what the angle is, since there are no ads and the site links directly to the official Steam and Itch pages.
