2010-rust-rewrite-mashup

yep this stuff is super interesting. we're seeing rust rewrites of games like modern warfare 2 [1][2], and mashups with cod, minecraft, and skate 3 [3][4][5]. there is a large active discord community of gamers and modders sharing tips and guides on how to do this. none of them are really programmers, they're just sharing prompts and codex/claude code does the rest. i don't think llm's are capable of designing new games but they're wizards at reverse-engineering and mashing up existing games, which kind of makes sense for a computer.

seeing what has been happening in the game modding communitiy, with people reverse engineering full rust rewrites of games like modern warfare 2 [1][2], or reverse engineering mashups with cod, minecraft, and skate 3 [3][4][5], the only defence against reverse-engineering literally all software will be to serve it from the cloud, and even that will not be enough. these people aren't even programmers, claude code just downloads ghidra and builds this stuff. the future of software is oss. unless governments lock down access to these tools to prevent this kind of reverse engineering. which is a horrible future to envision.
