It is, because the downstream consequences of this will be that the industry will do _everything_ to stop this from happening.

The idea of reimplementing the _engine_ is good. Handing out the _assets_ however is not.

The trajectory is clear I'm afraid. Games will in the future be streamed from the cloud, so that there are neither assets nor logic to steal.

Previously, before LLMs, the people doing this stuff had enough friction to consider their actions. Now they don't.

That is a good point but could it be also for the following reason; cloud streaming will be "encouraged" as hardware prices keep high and will encourage a monopoly on data centres to protect those hardware asset values?
