I can't believe I have to spell this out, but when people make an analogy, they're not saying that the things they are comparing are exactly the same. I'm saying that I paid for my Claude subscription, so it should do the development work I ask it to do.

Telling people that they can write code by hand is like telling them that they can walk when their car doesn't drive, regardless of where you drive to. It's technically correct, but it is completely irrelevant.

You don't know what I carry in my car.

Oh the irony.

AFAIK, reverse engineering a game isn't necessarily "trampling the IP rights of others." If I'm just doing a RE project for my own curiosity and not releasing the results or building a derivative product of some kind, it feels like a stretch to say that's trampling on the IP rights of others.

Surely it depends on what I do with the results of the RE?
