You are the one wrong in here. You just said it yourself: “looking at something =/= copying something”. No one was talking about copying, the question was literally how to unpack UE pak archive. And you know you are wrong, so you’re trying to do mamage control by adding things like “you need to look at things in context here. this is a game dev forum”. You made it up. There’s nothing morally wrong with looking at the game/anything you bought. You own it, you can look at its inside as much as you want. And fck companies that try to block it like Apple with their devices.
I unpack games often - not UE ones usually, but with RenPy games if some quest is broken/not obvious, and you have to go in code to see how tf to complete it. In UE you can do it to create mods for games. Or once I had to unpack game because it was my own game, and I lost source assets and wanted to use them in another project.
