god i hate the words "asset flip"
10 years ago it very specifically meant using premade game engine assets, often whole example games, to slap something vaguely playable on steam to trick people into buying it and attract steam card hunters
now people call anything that reuses assets from a previous game an asset flip, or even use it for any art in a game they consider to look "generic"
its terrible i wish people would stop it
