    Made easier to use like in when their codebase was leaked and no one had successfully built a game from it?

    in-house tools often encourage making a mess heavily reliant on those tools or working around their limitations, in my experience

      People have successfully compiled GTA V if that is what you are saying.

      Of course no one would make another game using leaked tools, that would be incredibly stupid.

          Yeah, people successfully compiled and ran the game within a few days of the leak.

          I tried myself but I didn’t get it to work. But I’m no developer and I tried doing it in a VM (no way those files touch my real computer) which was annoying so I gave up quite quickly.
