Good job they all appear to be as dumb as gently caress at working it out.

Redditors are a special brand of retarded, so I'm not too worried. On the other hand, if you send down 1,000 autistic divers for clams, eventually one will come up with a pearl. If they stumble on this before Wednesday, it could mean really big trouble. CIG does not deserve that kind of tip-off, least of all from the cultists on Reddit.

I wonder how many developers CIG has tasked with working this out, thinking, as they usually do, that they can "get out in front of it." Protip, CIG: it's already too late. There's no coming back from this, and you loving know it.

I'm not talking about "getting implicated", I'm just saying that this isn't the sort of poo poo that you want to get traced back as an "original leak", that's all.
