Does this mean more and more developers could easily make GTA like games now that they have access to this source code ?

- tarruda 3y agoIf they can extract the game engine code into a reusable framework, yes. No game created from it could ever be legally released though.
- cepacked 3y agoIf it's a closed source release, how could anyone prove which code/framework they reused ?
- prometheon1 3y agoI'd imagine a complex game engine has some bugs or weird behaviours in specific conditions. If it can be proven that the closed source game has a lot of the same bugs/behaviours, that is likely enough to win a lawsuit.

- 93po 3y agoDecompile it and see things work exactly the way the original game does, bugs and all
- jncfhnb 3y agoCan’t you decompile it?
- mopsi 3y agoNo. It's more like a writer describing their creative process. Knowing how someone else gathers ideas or structures text may help you improve your own writing, but that is still a very small part of publishing an original work.
- brainzap 3y agonot by much, usually I review the data models to absorb their design and translate into lessons
