MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for popcorntime-ce [2]:

This community fork was discontinued; last release was in 2016.

Doesn't build anymore; npm warns of 4 "unsupported engines" and 20+
deprecated modules, then build fails.

Mainline popcorntime was recently updated so it works very well:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/popcorntime
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/popcorntime-bin
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/popcorntime-git

There is no benefit in keeping this non-working old version.

This package has the most votes (42) of all popcorntime packages.
Therefore it is the first item in the default search for popcorntime.
It will draw users to itself, only for them to find out that it's
broken.
