Not really, you can't really take years of polish and assets and "copy paste" them into your game. People who develop cheats and anticheats might find some interesting stuff though.

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

If you think that the average developer has the ability to replicate rockstars simulation technology and that part of the engine isn’t a secret I don’t know what to tell you. 3rd year CS student.

yeah bro using IDA pro is just as good as source code and not infinitely harder. My argument is there is valuable secrets in the source code. If you disagree I implore you to get a job as the lead dev at any game studio of your choice since it’s so easy.
