But you have all the assets of the actual finished game as well as the code used to run it, using your example. You don't get the game dev studio, i.e. datasets, expertise, and compute. Just because someone gives you all the source code and methods they used to make a game, doesn't mean anyone can just go and easily make a sequel, but it helps.

In other words you don't have the source data.
And full circle would be "code is data (lisp), data is code (forth)".
