This is the dumbest techbro talk I've seen in a while. There are open source projects that get exploited in the wild and are found by researchers later, while being open since their inception. This guy thinks just because someone made a clone and others tried to decompile it, there's not going to be any more vulnerability and there's no value of the exact fucking source code.

Some sketchy company could reverse engineer the server logic, change a few mechanics/graphics/ models and there's fucking a new game. To avoid lawsuits, they could just operate in China.

Riot games is completely owned by Tencent. Given it's a golden goose for that company and for China by extension, operating a cloned version of this particular game out of China would be a very bad idea.
