Why is a games source code being leaked a bad thing? Doesn’t all that code exist in the games files?

2.04K views

I do know that that code obviously then inst available, since that’s why the recent leaks are significant…but why is it significant? Obviously cheaters will use that to more easily make hacks, but why is that code not part of the game? How does that code not exist in the game files? Is it hidden in some way or is some of that engine code or what exactly is it?

Think of creating a game in terms of baking a cake. Once the cake is baked you can’t go backwards and turn it back into eggs, flour, levening, and oil.

The source code is your cake ingredients. The oven is your compiler. The cake is the completed game.
