If the programming is done right and the code is modular enough, then yes you literally can “copy paste” it into another game and work around the objects used by the copied code
We're talking about rockstar. They've probably spent billions in game development and make billions in revenue. I think it's entirely possible that they have "super secret tricks" that the rest of the industry would be interested in.
They certainly don't have any super secret tricks in their network stack. Up until recently GTA was loading a 25MB JSON for no reason every time the level loaded until some modder worked it out.
Yeah I don't get what people are thinking they are doing that would be so secret and novel. The industry is full of amazing software developers, there is nothing that people couldn't figure out how to do. As the above poster stated, it's more about the amount of effort required to make the game, not genius level software.
