steam/video game model extraction/import idea
for a possible program other than the usage of addons to have a file import of video game models all ready for the animators purpose of using for animation that also includes videos or other video media content file access available to us the user for consumed and owned content sort of like if possible a program or official import for video game model editing/animating/rigging etc etc if not that at least add a extraction of models form owned products in order to create be inspired and make even more content without limitations to just one way of doing things and having to use non offical addons

Agree with the other comment. It would not be wise to include such feature within blender as it's more often than not considered unlawful, if you really need it, then make it or use other tools like ninja. Btw most of the ripping tools are messy, as they basically 3D-Scan the model out of the game, so i would not really recommend ripping the models.
If you're one of the game devs, then you should have access to the used models in a supported file format, e.g. gltf, fbx, obj. If you're not one of the game devs you may contact them and ask for a specifc model or redo it from scratch.
This is not going to happen. The term for what you're alluding to is "game ripping" and the practice is generally considered to be unlawful. Virtually all commercial games contain copyright content and most have user-facing agreements against ripping/using assets from their products in any capacity. That content is not there for you to use at your own discretion.
fair usage only
