@alyx@gameliberty.club seems like that script in the screenshot is based on the obs installer

That's just a bunch of code that checks if you have DirectX properly installed. Not exactly some trade secret.

And considering the filename you linked me "mp-installer.nsi", this tells me we're dealing with a Nullsoft Installer script. As far as I know, that could just be code that it auto-makes if you tell it to check for DirectX. It which case, the only relevant bit is that they used the OBS URL that redirects to Microsoft.

And again, even if you can 100% prove they stole parts of the install script, you do realize how disingenuous it is to accuse Tiktok of stealing code, considering you know damn well everyone will jump to the conclusion that they're stealing the important bits that have to do with recording stuff?

I don't exactly appreciate having to defend something like Tiktok, but how about we actually be honest individuals, and inform ourselves before making accusations, and also make sure we accuse them of the correct thing. There's a massive image difference between "they stole code" and "they stole some bits of the installer script that is used by a third party software to install the relevant software itself". The former already has everybody up in arms and ready to burn people at the stake, while few people will give a crap about the latter.

So until you or anyone else has something that actually is substantial proof, how about we DON'T make such accusations based on a bad screenshot, from an individual that clearly knows jack shit about what he is doing, and jumped to a stupid conclusion cause he saw half of an URL that he recognized.

@puniko
Is this worthy of an investigation? Yes. Investigate away. And when you have proof that Tiktok stole something from OBS that has to do with recording/streaming or even the UI, I'll be here with my pitchfork and torch ready.

Until then... this is a bad joke and a disgrace.

>this is a bad joke and a disgrace.
Best description of TikTok if I ever heard one. The users there are so full of crackhead energy that people stole whole toilets... FOR A TIKTOK CHALLENGE!
