I do believe there are more shooters than just MW2, is it at all binary compatible? That would impress me (cause its impossible for an ai without scraping the source lmao)
Its like how they 'revived' the dire wolf by getting a white husky. Like imitation isnt equivalence, even if you slap the same title on it.
Goalposts moved from 'it's only copying this exact project' to 'any conceptually similar project can be reworked until it's identical and that doesn't count either.'
The MW2 decomps are from the binary - but there's obviously none of its source code in the training data. Not that you seem to care, suddenly. You've made your position unfalsifiable and therefore meaningless.
New clone of a whole-ass software suite? They must be copy-pasting a specific libre project, doesn't count. Oh it's from spec documents, and structured completely differently? Well the other libre implementation is in the training data, doesn't count. Oh it also cloned cloud applications with no binaries or alternatives? I do believe there are more video effects packages, does! not! count!
Meanwhile.
These schmucks have a one-to-one copy of the latest Photoshop, permissively licensed, ready to use. It did not exist last month.
Whining about how it got made won't change a goddamn thing.
