It could involve many factors. My guess is that all online activities on Facebook compromise data, and they wouldn’t conceal the extent of their data collection. This might be justified by infrastructure and security concerns, though not immediately obvious. A similar tactic was used by Microsoft before. They claimed it would “hinder innovation.” As a tech firm, they expected technological progress—but it wasn’t. Instead, it related to financial strategies aimed at increasing profits. For instance, slavery could be seen as “financial innovation,” which would then be restricted under rules that discourage certain kinds of innovation. The line between what’s considered innovation can be blurry.
It might be possible that parts of the game are also found in other active products. Sharing the source code for the discontinued titles could affect those current releases. Code reuse is common. Don't jump to conclusions about intent.
They’re hard to rely on, especially when they prioritize profit over rules. The real issue is that they’ll do whatever boosts their earnings, and the only way to get them to comply is through higher costs. Cartels act like big businesses in this regard. Edited February 1, 2023 by Bombastinator
It's a Meta/Oculus title, meaning it connects with numerous APIs for user login and activity monitoring.
Faceboock isn't intended to provide backend code. It's designed as part of the metaverse, embedding proprietary tracking, monetization, and ad features through Facebook's API. Recreating it would be better to build from scratch instead of copying existing code.
