Extraction
Video game file extraction is the process of ripping assets from a video game's game files. In 2026, video game assets are still stored on the local machine and streamed from the disk. This makes all game assets accessible from the local machines, allowing talented individuals to extract them into their individual parts.
Some games store their assets plainly, ie. their textures, sounds and many other things are just literal picture and sound files. In this case, “extraction” is as simple as copying the folder's contents elsewhere. DEFCON (Game) is one such case.
