Either answer or move on silently.įourth, both final and off-topic, I’d be curious to find out the logic/premises on which you’re differentiating between “earned” and “stolen” knowledge.AssetRipper is an application designed to help those who struggle with finding the perfect assets for use with their Unity game project. But who are you or I to decide who has the chances and who hasn’t? The guy asked a question. Does everyone innovate? No, of course not. Without knowing what’s already been done, you can’t innovate. Thirdly, gaining knowledge (“earned”, “stolen” or otherwise) is the only (emphasizing on ONLY) way the world advances. There’s no legal department in the world who would argue with that. If the UE team gives you the tools and documentation to encrypt/secure your work and you don’t, then whoever takes a peek or reverse engineers it, is not a thief. Secondly, it’s not theft unless it’s explicitly forbidden. To me, at least, saying any method of gaining knowledge is not moral or ethical is at least a bit hypocritical.
some time later some guy unpacks your files and peeks at your code (and lets be real here, the only reason to peek at someone else’s code is to gain knowledge you did not earn(commonly referred to as stealing) and use it to adapt “your code”) if he then goes on to make a game with said function you would sue the **** out of him.įirst of all, this whole forum we’re on is built with the objective of sharing knowledge. so you make a game that includes said code and all is well. say you find a greatly efficient way to code some random function, now you could freely share that knowledge, maybe even do a tutorial, or you might want to keep it to yourself. Even just “peeking at the code” is still “morally or ethically wrong”. However you justify it to yourself by saying everyone else does it, at its core, you are still taking someones work, without their permission. I, for one, have never unpacked, decrypted, deconstructed or reverse engineered someone else’s hard work.
paks (and encrypted ones if you have the key) my question was why I’m aware that you CAN unpack unencrypted.
Wanna bet it’s in their own documentation somewhere?
