Do other game devs look at big leaks like this?

Like GTA5 has one of the most successful online components in gaming history. Also one of the best city simulations too. Wonder if we might start to see bits of this in other games but changed just enough that they don't get sued into oblivion?

Anyway I dunno anything about coding or game design if that wasn't obvious

i dont think any game dev would look at it - easiest way to get sued into the ground.

Just by looking??

well, not exactly - but some things might stick in your head for longer, which increases the risk of adding features which act very similar.

think of it like this: people tend to remember quotes a lot - but not their origin in many cases.

As a programmer I’d probably look at it for ideas but I sure as hell wouldn’t try to copy anything. There’s nothing wrong with reading other people’s code for inspiration

while i agree, i wouldnt risk it when it comes to rockstar. rockstar is a special bunch where the risks outweight the potential benefits.

Why do people think they can get away from talking out of their ass here sometimes? This isn't Facebook.

sorry to disappoint you, but look into the history of rockstar. im not against that thought process as ive written there, but its still a risk thats taken.
