Easily but that won't actually solve the problem. The issue occurs when trying to market and promote the game; if your announcement of your indie game and it's features gains any traction then some POS will whip together a crappy ai vomit stain. Since you probably released some images to drum up interest they can regurgitate something that looks passible like your game in a day by feeding those images to an ai. This means there is an absolutely terrible clone that will come out before your game that will confuse the customers and spoil the market. Honestly the fact that they don't steal code makes them sort of worse. If they did steal code then the quality of the clone would be way better. It would still be bad but it would be better then what the gen ai would come up with based on the description of your game mechanics. And since your game is going to get confused for the clone (since that's their goal) the worse the clone is the harder it will be to market the real game.
