  #gamers in certain specific spaces hate asset reuse. certain devs and artists who are somewhat puritanical of making things hate asset reuse. but its a standard practice, there’s no possible way to not reuse anything, u arent building ur own computer architecture and creating a compiler and everything so u are using preexisting libraries. but certain people think its ‘cheating’ or ‘not real development’ if they use specific libraries, frameworks, assets, main example being game engines. but examples like asset libraries, addons, are also included in this the reason is very similar to “you arent a real chef if u use a cake mix” bullshit. and it exists to some extent in every field from what i understand. its just about learning that building on existing things isnt demeaning or bad in any way, atleast as long as u acknowledge and credit
